Rejection improves eventual impact of manuscripts
- JamisonM 14y agoThis makes sense from my experience, decent papers that are rejected are rejected by reviewers, who themselves are doing related research and publishing papers. This means that they have been exposed to a larger group of people who would want to cite them later, writers, not readers. If you review and reject a decent paper that needs improvements when you see the revised version published (or an un-revised version for that matter) you are likely to be drawn to read it again and it is likely to come to mind when you are later doing research that can use that information.
