61 Writing for Your Chosen Journal Tip 3: Think like an Editor...I think authors need to be a little bit empathetic, they need to think what is it like to be an editor of a journal? How many papers is the Editor receiving per day, per week? What is going to actually make the journal pay attention to my paper? Monica Taylor, Former Editor of Journal of Moral Education 63

62 What Makes a Good Title? The title and abstract are the most visible parts of your article. "We would typically expect a strong title, a good title that really expressed what the article was about and made it clear to the reader exactly what the topic was, and it's amazing how often writers neglect to do that. Professor Mark Brundrett, Editor of Education

63 What Makes a Good Abstract? A good abstract will tell you what the key issue that s addressed is, it ll give you an idea of the methods that have been used and the conclusions that have been arrived at. So that abstract ought to tell someone whether it s worth them spending part of their life reading this paper. If the abstract doesn t do that the chances are the paper will have further weaknesses. Professor David Gillborn, Editor, Race, Ethnicity and Education

64 Top Ten Reasons for Rejection 1 Out of scope 2 Not an true academic article 3 Too long/too short 4 Disregard for writing conventions 5 Poor style, grammar, punctuation or English 6 No contribution to the subject 7 Not contextualised interest 8 Poor theoretical framework/lacks references 9 Scrappily presented and sloppily proofread 10 Libellous, unethical, rude 66

65 What to Do if Your Paper is Rejected? Do nothing for a few days: calm down! It s not usually worth getting into a discussion with the Editor about the reviewers, it won t alter the decision. Use the reviewers comments, alter the paper and submit to another journal. If you do submit elsewhere, take care to alter your paper to the new style of that journal. Editors can easily detect a paper that was submitted to a rival publication. If asked to make heavy amendments and resubmit, you must decide if it is worthwhile. Remember, you may get rejected again! It may be better to go elsewhere. 67
