I read the recent publication on fate of rejected paper
with a great interest [1]. In this work, Dewan, et al. concluded
that "Rejection of a manuscript by IP does not preclude publication, but
rejected manuscripts are published more often in non-pediatric journals or
journals with a lower impact factor, although the occasional exception
exists’ [1]. Indeed, this might reflect the nature of the authors who
usually take the challenge by submitting the papers to high impact
journals. The interesting point is whether the recommendation/suggestion
from the first journal is useful for modification or revision of the
papers before submitting to the new journals. Another interesting point is
why there is difference in the decisions on the submitted papers by two
different journals.
