So June started and ended with rejection letters from journals. Not exactly the way I wanted the summer to go. As of May, I had three articles under review, and I've heard back from two. I guess I'd gotten used to the revise and resubmits of the last year, and I wasn't ready for back to back rejection letters. The first, I can see where they're coming from. The second, I really disagree--I think my piece made a substantial contribution, and one of the reviewers' comments was just completely wrong. For this second one, I feel like I can strengthen the rationale and tweak a couple of places and send it off again. I've already got a place in mind. For the first, I'm going to look back at it and plan with the feedback in mind. I may wait until the fall and collect a bit more data (small sample size was a definitely weakness). Either way it's a bummer. I have one under review still, and I have one that's just about ready for review. Someone told be that they'd look at it and give feedback but hasn't gotten back to me yet. I'll probably wait until late this week or early next week and then send it off. My goal is to always have something under review, and I don't want to delay.
