Research trends are in many cases impacted by the gate-keeper's attitude or approval of a prospective research paper. The majority of those gate-keepers are specialized chief editors, editors, and reviewing-scholars in their fields.
Is it justified that a research paper gets rejected based on the criteria of being/not being fashionable or popular in the field?
Would you go with the current in order to get pass, or would you rather be concerned with saying your word in the field? Supposing that there are evidences for both the popular and the "not fashionable attitude nowadays".
I'm in the humanities, researching American poetry.
Thanks for your comments!
I think that specific criteria would make a research perspective that is "not fashionable" have a chance of being approved by the "gate-keepers" in the field. By that I mean that going with the current for a while might enable the researcher to have ground as someone whose work is reliable or "fashionable" and might be able to introduce their new perspective at a later time.
Hello Muthana Makki Mohammedali
I would tend to agree with Zahraa Taher Essa that unfortunately we have to conform with current trends before we embark on something more adventurous and possibly less in keeping with that which is fashionable and saying, as you say, "your word". I understand this might mean a more unorthodox and less accepted set of thinking.
indeed, only orthodox and abiding attitudes and methodologies are let through THE GATES! one wonders how such rigid criteria cope with the innovative and creative approaches that such gatekeepers claim. I always say that you have to have a chair at the table before ordering/making your own cuisine!
still, introducing one's unorthodox statements has to happen piecemeal. ambitious researchers must be skillful in paving the way for expected publishers and readership to digest novelty. it is a process whereby pertinence is gradual.
إذا كان الرأي أو الدراسة مؤسس لها ولها منطقها المقبول عقليا وبحثيا لا يهم إن كان يخالف النظرة السائدة وإلا كيف سيكون التجديد، أو القراءة الجديدة خاصة في مجال العلوم الإنسانية، يقول دريدا كل قراءة ماهي إلا إساءة قراءة، وغادامير يهاجم صرامة المنهج والقوالب الجاهزة في دراسة الفن والأدب... لا حرج في المخالفة المؤسس لها
