Taruna - it is possible to resubmit. One would argue that it would need to be significantly different to the original manuscript and addressed the main reviewers comments - otherwise the same reviewers are likely (from your submitted keywords) and the same outcome. Quite a few journals now, as part of the online process, will ask you if your manuscript has been submitted previously.

I would like to suggest you a BIG NO to this journal any more. This does not means that your paper is rejected because of low quality. There may be some other reasons too, e.g., scope of the journal, etc.,. My suggestion is to improve the quality of your manuscript and submit it to some appropriate level of journal, i.e., according to the quality and standard of your work matching to that of the selected journal.

Taruna Pandey Your response-action will depend on the initial reason for rejection (noted by Dean Whitehead ) and if the editorial team explicitly said your manuscript could be resubmitted. Authors are typically allowed a rebuttal, e.g. to argue for review and consideration for publication or against a reviewer if they appear to be nonobjective. However, if a submission is deemed out of scope, its probably not a good idea to resubmit, reviewers might give the same opinion even if additional research is reported (related to Muhammad Ali 's comment), not even provide for review comments and therefore just delay your efforts to publish.
If it was rejected because a few points were unclear, or for quality of writing, those are initial review like comments to begin with and indicate it could be resubmitted.
Improving the manuscripts among submission is a generally good idea, once review moves forward, substantial changes reflect review comments and are typically noted/highlighted as 'responses to reviewer comments'.
Taruna Pandey - Thank you for your question. Some journals accept appeals; you could amend your article and address each point raised by the reviewers. Make all the changes made to the manuscript in a different colour- blue or red, and underlined. Review the paper against the guidelines to authors, and edit the language etc. Also, submit a "Response Letter" to the editor addressing in a point-by-point format each point raised by each reviewer. In that letter indicate the page number and line number next to each change. Most journals might accept the submission and send the manuscript to review provided that:
- You addressed issues raised rather than went into arguments with reviewers.
- Did not make your changes clear and significantly improved the manuscript.
- The issues raised by the reviewers were fatal and challenging to be corrected (for example, problems in the study design).
Good luck.
Taruna Pandey It might be possible in the case that you a) added new experimental results, and b) fully addressed all points raised by the reviewers of your original manuscript. Most likely, the journal will then treat it as a new submission. However, chances are that the manuscript will be sent to the same reviewers. Thus my suggestion would be to submit the fully revised manuscript to another journal with a similar impact factor and reputation.
Logically YES... but if you want to save time, submit it to another journal after modifying your initial manuscript according to the previous reviewer's comments. That will increase the probability of publication in other journals as it is already a peer reviewed manuscript now.
So long as the new paper addresses all the comments from the reviewers of the previous manuscript and presents new data, analysis and conclusions which add significant value, it is OK to resubmit.
Yes. In fact, some journals encourage resubmission after some months. But such resubmission would have addressed concerns from the previous review. In some other cases, Editor can request that a resubmission should have about 50% changes. So, I always submit to a new journal after correction using reviewers' comments.
