Researchers always share info about different statuses of journal submission. Little is discussed about journal shopping. I am not a massive author, but have much journal shopping experience - interdisciplinary researcher and with no research funding to collect data with desirable properties. For me, hitting the first journal willing to revise my paper in two months is a lucky event. I once experienced immediate rejections for nearly 4 years. Then a reviewer accuse me of being a self-plagiarist. I asked for further details. The feedback was "rejection" is rejection; nothing else can be discussed. In the end, I submitted the paper to another journal. I knew that the editor was a leading expert of the field. As expected, he could see that my ideas were brand new. I got my paper published in that respectable journal of the field after 4 1/2 years. I hope it is the worst publication experience. What is your shopping experience?
Hi Sandro, we are a group of early-career researchers who were fed up waiting months for our research articles to be accepted. We decided to build https://conpher.com to share and search for advice on where to publish our research. And if you cannot find what you need - email the team at [email protected] and we will try and help! Happy researching!
Sorry to say...... Although, submitting a manuscript in multiple journals is considered as a crime, but sometimes it seems to me as a great idea because of these types of coincidence. After accepting once, withdraw from others. (Not recomanded though)
No, I have never submitted a paper to more than one journal simultaneously. I find the next journal after getting rejection. Ethic is above everything. A publication is not paramount.
