Why are the submitted journal papers rejected?

  After the authors submitted their papers to a certain journal with great expectation, they received the news not that the papers were hired, but that they were rejected. What a pity. Therefore, we should first understand why they were rejected, so as to reduce the probability of being rejected. This article is still a journal paper brought by the editor. Why was it rejected.

  Some authors encounter the situation that the editor suggests transferring to other journals after submitting to the journal. The transfer of papers does not meet the requirements of this journal, or is not suitable for submitting to this journal. Generally, the paper transfer can be the author's active transfer or the reviewer's suggestion to the author. If it is the editor's suggestion to switch to other journals, the reasons are mainly divided into the following categories.

  1、 Not in line with the professional scope of the magazine:

  Some authors did not carefully read the "instructions for submission" before submitting, and only chose the influence factors of the magazine to submit, which will cause the research content of the submitted manuscript to be inconsistent with the scope of the magazine's professional field.

  2、 Low academic value:

  The cases that cause editors or reviewers to determine that the academic value of the paper is not high include: the paper is not innovative, the experimental argument repeats the published literature of others, or can be inferred from the known international literature through simple reasoning, and the original work is insufficient; The application field is narrow, only regional research and application, rather than universal significance and can be extended to more regions.

  3、 Paper quality is not up to standard:

  The main reasons for the substandard quality of the paper are the following defects: the analysis is not in place: there is only a simple qualitative description, the lack of quantitative and theoretical analysis, and the failure to refine, sublimate and rise to the height of theory. The argument is not sufficient: the argument cannot be confirmed by the experimental scheme; There is a problem with logical reasoning; Lack of experimental methodology theory; The weight check rate is unqualified, etc.

  For papers that are sure to be accepted, the reviewers and the editorial department usually give clear opinions, and will suggest transferring to other publications, so as to improve the medium manuscript rate; As for the choice of the author to switch to the journal by himself, we must make a decision after understanding the scope of the journal and confirming that it matches the content of the article, so as to avoid wasting more time due to "sudden and disorderly medical treatment"
