The critical points of a desk reject
Abstract
The pressure to publish
are now subject teachers researchers led the community
scientist to multiply seminars, round tables and writings
as to "good practices" to follow
to maximize the chances of publishing
his work in classified journals.
These initiatives can only be
welcome in an inflationary context of the number of articles submitted and
the admission bar. However, since
the beginning of the year almost half
articles submitted to SIM have fallen
under the influence of a desk reject and have
therefore been discarded even before having
been assigned to reviewers. This
decision comes when a first
level of analysis of the submitted article
(screening) reveals weaknesses of a crippling nature or suggesting that three evaluation cycles will not be sufficient for the article
can reach the quality level
required
