There are two reasons of rejection: Firstly, rejected by editor because the article is not fit with the journal's scope and aim. Solution: find another journal. Secondly, rejected by editor from reviewers' results because the article is not good enough to be published in that journal. Solution: revise based on review results (usually major revision) and resubmit, or find another journal.
Depends on when the message is coming in. I will appreciate it when the reply is within the first to second week. However, I will find out why and make adjustment if possible and re-submit it.

add clarifationsfor any section that the reviews had problems to understand.
First the researcher should choose the write journal (especially in scopus - www.journal finder.com) so this will show the researcher the compatibility between hos article and the required journal for publication.. The second point if the article was rejected andthe journal wrote the reason for publication so the researcher should work on these reasons to correct them and try to publish in other journal.
Rejection with reviewer comments is define the depth of your article.
I always like Rejection with reviewer comments that makes my article strong enough.
Thank you so much Dr. Segun Michael Abegunde , Dr Ammar A. Oglat , Dr Thomas Soseco , Dr Maham Muzamil Dr Anas Tarik Alhamdany Dr Sharad Medhe Dr Bassam Tayeh for your useful opinions and good suggestions.
Obvioulsy we feel bad if our paper is rejected. But if we see reviewer commments on it we realize shortcomings which gives motivation to us for further improvements.
Revise it according to the editor/reviewers comments and resubmit it to an other journal by taking attention to the journal's scope.
I am very closely attached with one SCOPUS indexed journal.
Many articles are rejected just for improper writing.
My advice:
Every scholar MUST send their first article to any good journal, may be to get rejection.
They will be angry, but they will learn to rectify themselves.
But,
We will get good articles in future.
When a paper is rejected, certainly we feel disappointed. However, we should learn from our failures and improve our manuscript for publication in other journals. The key is not giving up.
I will be frustrated at the first time.but then I will look for the reasons and try to improve my research and develop it.because i never thinking of giving up
Dear
If the paper is rejected for non convenient reasons we feal frustrated. But if there are learned suggested feedback, we improve the work and send it elsewhere.
On the other side, some Journals are rejecting the paper without reading the content but looking for affiliations even if the paper is novel. This is a truly frustrated.
Regards
Sometimes the reviewer comments lead to more improvements and open new questions are not answered clearly in your article. However, the rejection of your article is not always a very bad situation. I have several articles were rejected for publication in certain journals for nothing and without any significant scientific problems. After that, they got the acceptance in journals of higher impact factor as it is.
You have to know that, the reviewing process is not always fair and sometimes inappropriate reviewers are selected. You have trust your work and improve it as you can.
I feel dissappointed. But I will not give up.
I will submit again to the other journal
I will find the reasons for rejections and rectify, submit to another journal.
We learn from mistakes and experience.
During my PhD time i used to be angry, but now, rejection and acceptance are same, it is OK, just submit to other journal.
It is normal to reject some of our works. However, our feelings will different according to the reasons beyond rejection. In my attitude, I respect the academic position of the journal if they give me logical reasons for refusing. Otherwise, I consider that the journal is not worthy of respect.
On one time, the journal refused my manuscript with unrelated reasons to my work. Directly I wrote to them in order to explain the errors of their report. However, they replied to me: your work is not suitable with Scopus of the journals and is not within the readers' interest!!!!.
Well, why do not you say that from the first time?. Absolutely, This matter leads the researchers to doubt of criteria of evaluations and puts these journals under academical doubts.
The publishers' decision is influenced by the nationality of the authors!
My first reaction is: "Damn!". My second thought is: "Let me see...". My third reaction is: "OK! This is useful experience! My next article will be better!"
Thank you so much Dr. Aleksandar Dejanović, Dr. Alaa Jabbar Al-Manhel and Dr. Salwa Bouabdallah for your useful contributions.
Thank you all academics and all researchers for all useful answers. Regards.
If our article is rejected, in my opinion its definitely our fault (insufficient contents/ wrong selection of journal(not relevant to your field)/ improper submission etc., ) But we always feel hard to accept it....
Rejection happens to all of us, and it can be a salutatory experience. In the case of submitted papers, authors who are early, as well as those established in their careers, will experience rejection. In response to a rejection letter, one should not react by ripping the letter to shreds or, in today's electronic world, permanently deleting the message. Similarly, one should avoid the decision never to write another paper. Many papers originally rejected may ultimately find a home, with rewrites or better targeting to a more suitable journal. This article will explore feasible options for writers eager for their papers to find such a home.
