Rejecting a submission
Common reasons for rejecting a paper include:
- Unsound methodology
- Unsound theory, rational or logic
- Failure to add anything new to the knowledge field or to
provide new insights
- Faulty interpretation of data or source materials
- Poor quality data
- Badly written or poorly presented work
- Conclusions are not supported by the data.
It is helpful, especially if rejecting a paper,
if you can recommend ways in which the submission may be adapted
for the journal. For instance, you may feel that a paper is
not important enough for a full article but might make a brief
research note. A paper rejected as a research article may
be more successful as a commentary or viewpoint. You may also
be able to recommend a more suitable academic or professional
journal. Do note that many journals ask reviewers not to express
an opinion in their comments for the authors as to whether
or not the submission should be accepted; that is a decision
taken by the editor and opinions upon it should be in the
confidential comments for the editor.
