- How avoid desk-rejection: The first four minutes (Part 1)
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.

Please professor how would I know I have passed desk rejection stage. I need your reply please prof. Can I use submission to first decision to determine that days/periods to determine that?
It depends on the journal, publisher, and the platform they use. Many publishers like Emerald use platforms that indicate the status of your submission.
How would authors know when you (editor in chief) send to an editor ?
It depends on the platform the journal/publisher uses. For example, Emerald journals use the ScholarOne platform.
