FAQ: How to Avoid Research Article Rejection
Q1. Why do journals reject papers even if the research is good?
A: Most rejections happen not because of poor research, but because of poor fit (wrong journal), weak writing, formatting mistakes, or unclear methodology.
Q2. How do I know if my paper fits a journal?
A: Read the journal’s aims and scope, check a few recent issues, and see if your topic, method, and style align with what they publish. If not, choose another journal.
Q3. What’s the number one reason for desk rejection?
A: Submitting without following the author guidelines. Editors spot formatting, referencing, and length issues immediately.
Q4. How can I make my article stand out?
A: Highlight the original contribution. Show clearly what’s new in your work — a gap filled, a new method, or fresh data.
Q5. How important is the abstract and title?
A: Extremely important. Many editors and reviewers decide whether to read further based on these. Keep them clear, concise, and reflective of your actual work.
Q6. Do I need to cite papers from the same journal?
A: It’s not mandatory, but it helps. If their published work is relevant, cite it — it shows your paper fits their scholarly conversation.
Q7. Can bad English or grammar cause rejection?
A: Yes. Even great research can get rejected if it’s not readable. Clear writing = higher chances of acceptance.
Q8. Should I hide the limitations of my study?
A: No. Be honest about limitations. Reviewers respect transparency and critical awareness.
Q9. How do I deal with reviewer comments?
A: Respond politely, point by point. Show where you made changes, or explain why not. Never ignore or argue aggressively.
Q10. What’s the best way to check before submission?
A: Run a final checklist:
Journal fit ✅
Guidelines followed ✅
Grammar and plagiarism checked ✅
Methods and results explained ✅
Abstract and title clear ✅
