How to Prevent your Manuscript from Rejection

How to Prevent your Manuscript from Rejection?

If you are a research scholar or a scientist, you know the struggle of getting your manuscript published in a high-impact journal. And also the pain if it gets rejected.

But, you are not alone. Despite writing a high-quality and relevant research paper, more than 50% are rejected. They fail to even reach the desks of the peer reviewers of the journal. With increasing number of manuscript submissions each year, the rate of rejection is likely to increase.

So, what are the reasons for the rejection of your medical manuscript and how can you prevent them?

1.The manuscript is out of the scope of the journal

When your research study doesn’t fit the aim and scope of the journal selected, it gets rejected even before a peer review.

Therefore, when choosing a journal for publication, consider the factors like your research topic, target audience, their geographical location, and the format of your manuscript. Ensure that these criteria of your manuscript match with the selected journal’s criteria.

2.The quality of writing is below the publication standards

Poor communication of your research results, either as grammar and language errors or lack of clarity in the presented manuscript leads to the rejection of your research paper.

To overcome the problem, you must hire a professional scientific writer who can check the formatting and presentation of the scientific data and correct all linguistic errors before submitting it for publication.

3.Improper formatting of the manuscript

Each journal has its own style guide, be it the structure of the manuscript, use of prepositions and punctuations, number of pages and word count, and the type of figures to be added.

These things need to be adapted to your desired journal’s style.

 4.The guidelines for writing have not been followed

Nowadays, different types of manuscripts have different guidelines depending on the type of research study they report. Following one particular guideline and neglecting others can lead to rejection.

The best way to ensure that all the relevant guidelines have been followed is to study the author guidelines of the chosen journal. A professional scientific writer will be of help at this point, as he is conversant with all the relevant guidelines.

5.The reviewer’s comments have not been answered

After submission, your manuscript undergoes peer review. Most likely it will be returned with comments for major or minor revisions. However, this doesn’t imply rejection. It only means that there are certain issues that need to be fixed.

But, if you fail to respond to these comments, your paper will be rejected.

All comments should be carefully addressed and answered. If a comment can be implemented, do it, and if not, give a detailed explanation for the reason.

So, if your manuscript gets rejected, make a careful assessment for its reason. The letters from the journal editors will aid in doing so. They often state the reasons for the rejection or contact professional medical manuscript writing service at Cognibrain. Acknowledge these reasons with calmness and make the necessary changes to avoid the rejection of your manuscript.
