So you’re an academic, probably early, or at least early-ish, in your career. And, as you must in this publish-or-perish world, you’ve submitted your work to various journals in your field, spent weeks or months (or possibly years!) waiting anxiously to hear back from editors, perhaps submitted a few revisions…and every time, you get that email that begins with “Congratulations!”
So you wonder:
Why Do All My Articles Get Accepted?
I thought academia was about rejection. Am I doing something wrong?
…
Probably not. Or at least, not exactly. But this unusual (some might say unbelievable) situation can give you some hints to help you steer your career as an academic.
