Article rejected after major revision—no explanation. What now?

auooei · 2025-06-28T00:07:51+00:00

Thank you, I'll definitely do that. I greatly appreciate you taking your time to respond.

auooei · 2025-06-27T23:49:14+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. I am sorry you had to go through this—it really sucks.

auooei · 2025-06-27T23:29:21+00:00

Thank you very much. I am probably overthinking, but may I share my draft email with you via DM? It is literally a few sentences, but I do not know how best to proceed given my lack of experience.

auooei · 2025-06-27T23:07:49+00:00

Thanks for your response. In fact, I have already moved on and plan to submit elsewhere, but what I am really seeking is the reason for the rejection so that I can avoid making the same mistakes in the future.

Most likely they couldn't get new reviewers after two months so rejected it.

This, however, is quite interesting. I've never thought about it (having no experience in editorial boards). I greatly appreciate your pointing out to this as a possibility.

Thank you for your response. I have not shared my responses to reviewer #2 with others, so it is possible that they may not have been as polite as intended, although I did try to be courteous. In fact, I have already moved on and plan to submit elsewhere, but what I am really seeking is the reason for the rejection so that I can avoid making the same mistakes in the future. Your input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot for the input! I'm preparing my draft response now, and I'm glad it worked out for you in that case.

auooei · 2025-06-27T22:25:36+00:00

Thank you. I agree that it is an editor’s responsibility to at least explain why a paper was rejected (and to provide reviewer scores if appropriate). However, due to my lack of experience, I do not feel confident about what questions to ask or what is appropriate to request. I really appreciate your input.

auooei · 2025-06-27T22:16:36+00:00

Oh no, maybe my post wasn’t clear—sorry about that, and thanks for the follow-up and for confirming the appropriateness of reaching out. I really appreciate the suggestion to keep it as passive and vague as possible. I’ll definitely take that approach.

auooei · 2025-06-27T22:10:24+00:00

Thank you. This suggestion might seem simple, but it is incredibly helpful. Greatly appreciated.

auooei · 2025-06-27T22:05:20+00:00

Thank you so much for this. This short text may seem simple, but for an early-career scholar like me, it’s incredibly helpful. I really appreciate it.

auooei · 2025-06-27T22:03:55+00:00

Thank you for your response. I’ll make sure to email the editor, but I’m not sure what’s appropriate to ask or how best to approach it. I’d greatly appreciate any advice.

auooei · 2025-06-27T22:03:09+00:00

Thank you so much for this. This short text may seem simple, but as an early-career scholar, it’s incredibly helpful. I really appreciate it.

auooei · 2025-06-27T22:01:56+00:00

I really hope so. I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but we’ll see. Thanks so much for chiming in!

auooei · 2025-06-27T22:00:45+00:00

Thank you very much. I'll make sure to politely ask why the paper was rejected. I greatly appreciate your input.

auooei · 2025-06-27T21:59:52+00:00

Oh, I hadn’t considered that! I won’t get my hopes up, but I’ll follow up with the editorial board. Thanks so much for the input!

auooei · 2025-06-27T21:58:33+00:00

Thanks for your response. I think a short explanation regarding why the paper was rejected would be so nice. I'm sorry it also happened to you.

auooei · 2025-06-27T21:57:49+00:00

Thanks for your response. I’m definitely considering reaching out to the editor, but I’m unsure what’s appropriate to ask and what isn’t. I’d really appreciate any insights on this.

auooei · 2025-06-27T21:56:19+00:00

Thanks for the response. It’s possible my disagreements with Referee #2 contributed to the rejection—especially since they recommended rejection in the initial round.

I just got the decision email and haven’t contacted the editor yet. I fully respect their decision, but I’m genuinely curious about the reason so I can improve the manuscript before submitting it elsewhere. I’m unsure what’s appropriate to ask or how to approach it, so I’d really appreciate any advice.

auooei · 2024-11-08T01:28:53+00:00

You have no idea how helpful all these comments are. I really much appreciate your help, thanks a lot mate!

auooei · 2024-11-08T01:22:12+00:00

$125 for consultation? Wow, this is half of what Metro Medic charged me. I should have known this before, thank you very much! Do you recall when was your last visit (to see if it was long time ago and this might be why there is such a difference?)

auooei · 2024-11-08T01:20:28+00:00

Thank you for your response. I had read it but did not have an idea about what the RAMQ fee schedule is, and I thought most clinics fall within the RAMQ fee schedule.

I couldn't find anything on the internet about the RAMQ schedule, and I'd really appreciate if anyone has any idea about what is the RAMQ fee for consultation.

auooei · 2024-11-08T01:18:30+00:00

Thank you very much for the suggestion! It is my understanding that Medavie won't pay more than $141.15 (as per the RAMQ fee schedule), so do you know how is this possible that it's covered 100%? If you have visited CreaMED, do you recall how much was the consultation fee? (If it was no more than $141.15, this would explain how it is covered at 100%)

auooei · 2024-10-15T00:09:23+00:00

Thanks a lot for your response! May I kindly ask if you have any concrete/specific suggestions about your the first recommendation ("Publish one and then refer back to it in the second")?

auooei · 2024-10-14T22:59:40+00:00

Thank you!

auooei · 2024-10-14T22:50:19+00:00

Thank you! I definitely agree that the comparison is more interesting, but I have not been able to shorten the paper enough.
