For over a year I have been working with a collaborator at Long Island University in writing a paper. I have really spent a lot of work over that time in analyzing the library science literature. We have spoken over the phone several times and have met a few times to discuss the paper.
About two months ago we submitted the paper to the Proceedings of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (ASIST). Yesterday I received an e-mail from the editors stating that the paper was rejected for publication. They said that only 37% of the submitted papers are accepted. We also received detail criticism of the paper.
Yesterday I started to revise the paper based on the suggestions made by the reviewers. Since my collaborator is on vacation, I will have to wait to discuss our strategy for resubmitting it. We have put too much work into it and will revise and submit to another journal.
If I had to apply for tenure, I would have been much more upset over this rejection. I will just move forward by revising the paper and resubmitting it. We all learn from our mistakes.
