Course Title: How avoid desk-rejection: The first four minutes
Course subtitle: As an Emerald journal editor-in-chief, I will share some tricks and tips with you to avoid desk-rejection!
Desk-rejection means your manuscript is rejected by a journal without being sent out for review. This means not only you have to try your luck at another journal, but also you may receive preciously little advice on how to improve your chances. More than half of all submissions to journals are rejected by editors immediately “desk rejected”, without even being sent for review. The desk-rejection rate is even higher in top-tier journals as high as 80%. Thus, desk-rejection has become one of the biggest barriers to get your paper published. In this online course, as the editor-in-chief of one an Emerald journal (Asia-Pacific Journal of Business Administration), I’ll share some tricks and tips with you to hopefully avoid desk-rejection in the future.

Thanks a ton Sir for sharing this valuable information
Thank you for your comment ☺️
Thank you sir for valuable incites
My pleasure 🥰
Professor, please, how about when the status of a paper is WITH EDITOR but it’s more than the number of days from SUBMISSION TO FIRST DECISION indicated on the journal website
The time from submission to the first decision varies for each paper. Sometimes, the process may be longer or shorter, depending on several factors. If your topic requires the involvement of associate editors or reviewers with expertise in specific areas, it can take longer to assign appropriate reviewers. In such cases, the review process may be extended. If you wish to inquire about the current status of your submission, you can contact the editor.
I submitted a paper to a journal and I got rejected since one year and I worked on it and developed it then I submitted it to the same journal, I saw decision in process before sending out for review which means desk rejection, Can the reasons related to same journal submitting for the second time? I have previously published papers with this journal, Can this affects my previous publications or it does not have any relationship? Thank you in advance
It depends on the editor. We don't have such practice in our journal. There are some authors who have published several papers in the journal.
