Manuscripts rejections in ophthalMology & science journals

Identifying and avoiding the common pitfalls

−Does not add to the current literature of the research

−Poor methodology used

−Poor English and grammar in writing the manuscript

−Poorly organized manuscripts

−Needs additional work or clarification

−Plagiarized researches being already submitted to other journals

−Not readily categorized

The above AJO reasons and that of other reasons are not that grave nature specified by the New York Times They are all common and avoidable reasons that are easily fixable and

entire-ly under control of the authors Equipped with proper knowledge and guidance such rejections

of ophthalmology and visual science manuscripts can be easily avoided And also striving to-wards a ‘rejection-proof’ manuscript will enable easy approvals for the manuscripts by reputed scientific journals

If you are one of the authors of ophthalmology and visual science journal which got rejected,

do not despair You are one among many in the long list of rejections as per different results of AJO or American Journal of Ophthalmology (AJO) Most of the rejected journals were published elsewhere in other higher impact journals

Many reputed scientific journals have a re-jection rate of above 90 %

Recently New York Times confirmed the truth that journal editors typically prefer only to publish groundbreaking new re-search But this is not the sole reason for many journals denying publishing the re-search papers A recent study conducted

in AJO reported rejection rate of 73.6 %, cited the following reasons for the rejection:

reasons for rejection

of ophthalMology anD

visual science journals:

Rejection is the norm of scientific publication

It happens to any renowned researchers also

But rejections do not preclude publications

The fact is rejected manuscripts are published

more in journals that serve a smaller

read-ership and are also cited less frequently But

many exceptions do exist.The following are

the common rejection reasons cited by many

studies and their solutions:

1 The research paper

is ouT of The scope of

The journal:

MEDLINE lists5,633 journals as early as

December 2016 With so many journals to

choose from, the authors have a daunting

task at hand while publishing the research

papers Most of it lands in the wrong journal

Mismatch of scope between the research

pa-per and journal is the main reason Hence it is

pertinent to check thoroughly the journals’:

− Instructions to authors

− About Us

− Read as many articles of the journal to grasp

editors preference and the readers’ choice

Only if the above and more are satisfied the

journal should be selected to avoid rejection

2 research papers

lacking originaliTy:

Many researchers knowingly or unknowingly

make the mistake of not reporting original

research findings It could be

− Results not able to generalize

− Using methods which have become old and

obsolete due to the evolution of technologies

and techniques

− Results which replicate published findings due to secondary analyses without adding any new substantial scientific knowledge

− Reporting studies with known knowledge but positioning it as fresh by extending the cultural setting, population or demographical locations

− Trivial or predictable results that have no clinical, theoretical or practical implications

− For research papers to be free, lacking in originality should give appropriate specific reasons as to why it is important It should

be in a way

− To affect particular medical intervention

− Should have a specific policy discussion

− It should change a conventional theory or belief

3 sTudy design flaws:

Researches which have an original value and well written also will face the study design flaws like:

− The research is poorly conceptualized re-garding its core question and its answers

− Inappropriate or unreliable selection of

meth-od, model or analysis that is not suitable for the research

− Inappropriate, incomplete data, a small quantity of sample, and sub-optimal instru-mentation used in research

These flaws in study design are a fundamen-tal problem to any scientific research It can

be easily resolved in the initial stages while conceptualizing the research A thorough literature review to determine the best materi-als and methodologies will help to avoid these flaws

In addition to the above, there could be many reasons for rejections of manuscripts in oph-thalmology and visual science Hence to seek professional help will help in better writing these manuscripts for reducing the rejections
