What do you feel when you sending your research or article for publication, and when you waiting the decision of journal ? how do you feel in the waiting period?
Very anxious,very painful, too long time, too harsh reviewers. Therefore, I do not issue paper journals, only pre-printed copies. Let the paper journal die, the future preprint will certainly replace the paper journal.
In Russia, this is called a version for the Ladies: “I don’t eat or sleep, and I don’t find a place for myself” when I wait for an answer from the Editorial Board!
Since I am a perfectionist, I check the text many times before sending it to the journal (I feel sorry for my poor coautors, but I can’t help them...). Therefore, my mood is rather expective and aggressive. What will they (peer-reviewers) think up this time? I'am ready to struggle.
It is true that after submitting the research I try to forget that, with other types of writing, the concern is not rejection, but from the attempt of some arbitrators to add notes are not editable, Or not objective
Worried and nervous. Worried about similar work that could be published before mine and nervous on what will likely be the decision after long processing period.
اتفق معك دكتور صلاح حسون جبار الحماس الممزوج بالقلق خصوصا اذا استغرقت المجلة وقتا طويلا في مراجعة المخطوطة ، او اذا كانت الترقية العلمية قريبة الموعد و بحاجة للبحث للتقديم للترقية ، هنا تسكب العبرات ،،
very good dear Sandra D. Brawer This is true, but sometimes it is particularly difficult if the researcher needs a publication for scientific promotion or evaluation in his institution
The researcher must begin to publish his research early in order not to feel nervous,, very good
Finishing the writing and submitting the paper is already a great joy. The first time after that, I have no sensation, but after some time, I start thinking and worrying about it.
Sure, by good preparing any research paper and working hardly, this may reduce the level of anxiety, I thinks also positive thinking is important in this situation, just wait and be patient and I am sure everything will be OK in the end, if it's not OK, it's not the end.
Feel anxious to know the results and the editor decision . I open my email several times a day to search for the decision letter. But anyway i accept the decision
