Abstract

Objectives: The study aimed to examine the reasons for the rejection of manuscripts, considering the increased rejection rates of our journal of up to 73% in 2022, and help authors realize what the editors and referees are paying attention to while assessing the manuscript. Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, original articles, case reports, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses submitted and rejected to the Turkish Journal of Physical Medicine Rehabilitation were searched between January 1, 2016, and June 30, 2022. After reviewing the referee's evaluations and editorial opinions for all rejected articles, the reasons for rejection were classified under three main headings: journal, manuscript, and ethical issues. The manuscript issues were detailed under 11 subheadings. Results: A total of 1,293 rejected submissions were reviewed. Of these, 35% were rejected at the editorial stage, while 65% were rejected after peer review. Thirty-three submissions were rejected for ethical reasons, 168 were out of the journal's field of interest, and 1,092 (84%) submissions were rejected for reasons related to the manuscript. The three most common reasons for rejection were protocol/methodology errors (44%), lack of contribution to the literature (41%), and lack of adequate discussion (40%). Conclusion: Before starting the studies, supporting the hypotheses with the current literature review, planning with the right protocol, and interpreting the findings in the discussion will facilitate the acceptance of the manuscripts to our journal.
为什么提交给《土耳其物理医学与康复杂志》的稿件会被拒绝?
目的:考虑到我们期刊在2022年的退稿率高达73%,本研究旨在探讨退稿的原因,帮助作者了解编辑和审稿人在评估稿件时关注的是什么。材料和方法:在这项回顾性研究中,检索了2016年1月1日至2022年6月30日期间提交和被拒绝的《土耳其物理医学康复杂志》的原创文章、病例报告、系统评价和荟萃分析。在审查了所有被拒文章的审稿人评价和编辑意见后,我们将被拒的原因分为三个主要标题:期刊、手稿和伦理问题。手稿问题分为11个小标题。结果:共审阅了1293份被拒稿。其中,35%在编辑阶段被拒,65%在同行评议后被拒。33篇投稿因伦理原因被拒绝,168篇不属于期刊感兴趣的领域,1092篇(84%)投稿因与手稿相关的原因被拒绝。拒绝的三个最常见的原因是方案/方法错误(44%),缺乏文献贡献(41%)和缺乏充分的讨论(40%)。结论:在开始研究之前,用现有文献综述支持假设,制定正确的方案,并在讨论中解释研究结果,将有助于本刊接受稿件。
