Established scientists after they reject a paper they didn't read based on the title and first two sentences of the abstract

[Boluwatife @Tifee_]

Best decision ever *kisses*

[Olarewaju Omomeji @OmomejiE]

Still my biggest win! I wouldn't choose differently.

Happy anniversary, babe @Tifee_

Thank you, Jesus!

Rejection of your paper or grant has NO relevance to the opinion of #research community. It is nothing but the opinion of one person.

Several examples:

1. The first paper on graphene was rejected from Nature because “it did not constitute a sufficient scientific advance”. Later, it was awarded a Nobel prize.

2. The first manuscript showing the microbiome-brain connection was published after 7 submissions that took 3 years. Today, this field has exploded. I expect it will get a Nobel prize in the future.

3. Theodore Maiman tried to publish a paper describing the first operating laser in Physical Review Letters and… got a rejection!

4. Peter Ratcliffe, who worked on cells’ response to changes in oxygen levels, got his key paper rejected from Nature (see photo). Later, he was awarded a Nobel Prize for this work.

And there are many other examples…
.

And yet I see so many young scientists stressing about rejections. For some reason, they seem to genuinely expect that the editors should know which study is truly worth it.

As a result, many rejections are met with surprise and disbelief: 
“How could they reject it? They publish so much trash, and yet they think our detailed 3-year-long study is not interesting to the community! WHY?”
.

Well, the reality is:

- Most editors have very little time to delve into your study. They can easily FAIL to recognize the potential impact of your study. Proper communication in the cover letter and clear writing style can help (although only to a limited degree).

- Many reviewers have little idea about the science in your paper. But they can have a big ego. So, if they have a bad day or were rejected recently, it’s easy for them to find 1000 technical reasons to reject your paper as well.

- Most scientists genuinely don’t know if your discovery can make any impact. If we could predict the course of science, we would be living very differently!

My message is simple:

Forget about objectivity. Academia is a very subjective world. Fight for objectivity but don’t take it for granted.

A great study will be found, cited and recognized. Disregard of where it’s published.

A bad study requires a high-impact journal to be found and cited. But the long-time recognition might be a problem.

High-IF journals are simply billboards. Their rejections do NOT represent the opinion of a scientific community.

You can get rejected but don’t reject yourself!
Believe in your results.

@AyomiAkande 👏 go girl!

[Oluwaseun Ajayi, Ph.D. 🇳🇬 🇺🇸 @matajson]

Dr. Ajayi sounds so nice!

[Boluwatife @Tifee_]

Congratulations sir!

[Oluwaseun Ajayi, Ph.D. 🇳🇬 🇺🇸 @matajson]

After 4 years, 10 months, and 8 days of arriving in the US, I have officially completed my Ph.D. program.

It has been a fantastic experience. And I am particularly grateful for the support, mentorship, assistance, and prayers from many people during this academic voyage.
