Had my first paper rejection as part of my PhD. As someone breaking up with perfectionism, failure is HARD. The review process was slow and full of revisions, but a lesson learnt.

I love celebrating the small wins, but think it’s important to acknowledge the small losses too.

@ola_demk Haha thank you! Also kind of feel like the majority of the pieces aren’t even for my puzzle 🤣

[Megan Cutts @MeganCuttsPhD]

Title and abstracting screening for a SLR is kind of like having to turn over puzzle pieces before you start a puzzle except there ARE 5000 PIECES and it takes at minute to turn over each piece 🫠🫠🫠
