SCU - Fac. of Engineering - Electrical Eng. Dept.61 When you submit a paper and get reviews back:1 Accept Rare decision, nearly every manuscript may need some work2 Accept with minor Revision Authors need to address queries and criticisms, will generally be accepted3 Accept with major Revision Authors MUST address certain major key issues

SCU - Fac. of Engineering - Electrical Eng. Dept.62 4 Reject Request Resubmission Not suitable now, and may not ever be, but could be worth asecond look5 Reject Poor science, report without value, redundant or duplicate publication, me too reports, clear bias, or good/great paper but wrong audience

SCU - Fac. of Engineering - Electrical Eng. Dept.63 What if Rejected:Be angry if you want but not for long! DO NOT argue with the editor Read carefully the reviews Make a TODO list and plan to do it.Decide: shall I send it to another journal or this one? Act quickly

SCU - Fac. of Engineering - Electrical Eng. Dept.64 :

- :-1- Put it on your website (yes you need to have one)2- Put slides to summarize the work

SCU - Fac. of Engineering - Electrical Eng. Dept.65 :

3- If somebody is doing related work, you may email him/her discussing how your work is related and whether you can collaborate

4- LinkedIn Research Gate
