It sucks when your science is rejected from top journals

It sucks more when your results are high impact but the editor couldnt see it

Helping publish >250 papers in 5yrs, I found that the addition of 1 sentence reduces desk rejects at top journals

Learn how🧵
#AcademicChatter 1/ If the editor isn’t in your field, they likely don’t know the “so what” behind your work.

Meaning they likely don’t know why it is being done and why they should care.

But how do we fix that?

For this we need to add ONE sentence in two key places: the INTRO and ABSTRACT

I've edited >250 papers and grants in ~5 years.

This volume taught me TONS about writing, incl. specific formulas for each section.
Why you shouldn’t feel bad using structured formulas to write (esp. when learning!) and why they can save you tons of time/stress.

@OpenAcademics We stress so much as early career scientists because writing is daunting…

AND most of us receive no training and are expected to just figure it out.

When we struggle, we’re told we just need practice/experience, and very few places offer true training in scientific writing.
