I received a journal rejection yesterday that veered way off from helpful to abject cruelty. Give someone something they can work with. Don’t use words that make them reconsider a life path & years of work on research. I will forever check the review board for that name & avoid.pic.twitter.com/nsc1qvmTe2

That’s so frustrating. I don’t understand people who feel the need to do that.

It was my dissertation. I’d rewritten from scratch it specifically for the journal bec I admired the review board. She implied I was a non native speaker because she didn’t like the phrasing of certain things. It was unhelpful and just paralyzed me.

So sorry to hear that. I’ve had that happen too and it’s a killer.

Good news is that all it means is you got a bad reviewer.

Editor in chief. I would have gotten constructive guidance if the relevant reviewers had seen it.
