In this episode Dr Casy Calver talks to Dr Katie Witkiewitz. Dr Witkiewitz talks about her experience as an editor and specifically about desk rejection - sometimes called reject without review. She talks about the many reasons that articles are rejected without going to peer-review. These can include there being too many similar studies already in the journal, page limits and articles being outside the scope of the journal. There are also avoidable issues of quality. Dr Witkiewitz then gives her top tips for how best to avoid (and cope with) desk rejection.
"You know, I think in the stress and strain of getting a paper out you don't re-read it in its entirety often, right? It's been through a lot of edits, maybe you were just frantically getting it in the journal format in the last minute you made some changes to get it in under word-count. But you didn't take a step back and re-read it."
Dr Katie Witkiewitz is a Distinguished Professor of Psychology and the Director of the Center on Alcohol Substance Use and Addiction at the university of New Mexico as well as the Editor of the journal Psychology and Addictive Behaviours.
