Why You Should Spend More Time Thinking About Physician Writing

  In brief   Being a physician has always been a demanding occupation. This is especially true for primary care physicians, who strive to provide and coordinate complete treatment for their patients. Such a goal necessitates availability, a broad range of medical expertise, effective utilization of the local healthcare system, and attention to the "big picture" and the details of a patient's life and health.   Introduction   When physicians learn to write creatively, they perceive significant and even career-saving benefits. Their comments on their experiences and what is significant in their lives and jobs help them become better physicians.   Why physicians make good creative writers   If we consider our life experiences to be a well from which to draw while becoming writers, physicians have an unusually deep well. They're engrossed in stories. They see bravery, cures, and spectacular failures. They see incredible situations, hear tragic words, make life-...

My paper was rejected in journal submission– What Next – Pubrica

 

Reading the Rejection Letter

Read the rejection letter as carefully as you would instructions for cashing in a winning lottery ticket. Never skim or read only the last few lines of a storey (reject). It's amazing how many authors email me with questions that have already been answered in the rejection letter. If the letter looks to be confused or useless, having a co-worker read it might be beneficial. Despite the exponential expansion in the number of online and print journals1, more manuscripts being rejected "internally" without external peer review as the number of submissions to journals rises. Some clinical publications  don't provide you with any more information.

Peer-reviewed papers that are rejected

Papers that pass the first round of screening will be sent out for peer review . Papers that are rejected following peer review generally include comprehensive comments from the reviewers on the merits and flaws of the work. This data is frequently highly useful in enhancing the paper or planning future initiatives.

Succeeding the Author Instructions

Many manuscripts will be rejected by the Journal of Graduate Medical Education (JGME) editor if they do not adhere to the author guidelines in terms of structure, word count, number of figures and tables, and reference style. JGME avoids an initial rejection by suggesting that writers resubmit their paper in the right format or with the correct word count. However, if you submit a manuscript that does not follow the author's guidelines, you risk irritating the journal editors and delaying your article's evaluation (1).



Pubrica Peer review has been defined as a process of subjecting an author’s scholarly work, research or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are experts in the same field.

1.      Matching Paper to Journal

A mismatch between the manuscript and the journal's scope is a typical reason for the internal rejection of submitted papers. There are at least 99 print and online health professions education publications, with a lot of overlap in goal and scope. Authors can learn about the most prevalent themes, study designs, and authors by reading one or two journal issues.

2.      Obtaining additional data or re-examining already collected data

A relationship is only discovered with small sample sizes when the effect size (magnitude of the influence) is very big. Because small samples restrict generalizability, gathering data on many participants, such as repeating the intervention over several years, may give more enlightening and reliable results.

3.      Resubmitting to the Same Journal

You may be able to resubmit your article  with the missing techniques or data if the flaws listed in the rejection letter affect procedures or findings that you performed but were removed from your work for whatever reason. It's a good idea to double-check with the journal office first.

1.      Make changes and submit them to a different journal

Because no two journals have the same author instructions or structure, you'll need to make some changes before submitting your article  to another. Therefore, it is critical to make any necessary adjustments based on the comments offered during the initial evaluation. When you can't make a significant adjustment, it's a good idea to explain why in your cover letter or a supplemental appendix.

2.      File the document away and never resubmit it

We all get rejection letters for papers we've submitted. Typically, many experts in the field have contributed significant time to provide comprehensive recommendations to help you develop your paper and future work. Use this criticism to enhance your work for submission to another publication and your future, more thorough investigation of the subject. As a responsible citizen of the medical education community and to enhance your editing abilities, consider volunteering to review papers for one or more publications (2). Above all, keep thinking about and studying medical education concepts , as well as producing papers.

Conclusion

After that, either "Reject after Editorial Review" or "Send for Peer Review" is decided. If a manuscript is rejected at this phase, the Editorial staff makes every effort to give constructive criticism and explain the rejection. A "Reject and Resubmit"  decision can also be used to reject a manuscript.
