Description

Rejection of your manuscript is just the first step on the path to publication of your research report. Reviewers ask you to adopt their favorite theoretical framework, redo the data analysis, write the paper they want to read, and add lots of new material, all despite the editor’s demand to make it 500 words shorter. Use all of this to make your published report better. We will provide a road map and chart alternative routes to acceptance, pointing out landmines along the way.
