Unfortunately, rejection rates are high, ranging from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/core.ac.uk\/download\/pdf\/15127289.pdf\">50%<\/a>\u00a0in general journals to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/nature\/for-authors\/editorial-criteria-and-processes\">92%<\/a>\u00a0in prestigious outlets like Nature. The Conversation, too, rejects most submissions.<\/p>\n<p>Such high levels of rejection have three adverse consequences.<\/p>\n<p>First, it squanders a valuable opportunity for professional learning and development. Learning sciences show clearly described\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/npjscilearn201613\">success criteria<\/a>\u00a0and constructive, task-specific\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/area.fc.ul.pt\/en\/artigos%20publicados%20internacionais\/The%20Power%20of%20Feedback_Hattie_Timperley2007_77_1_81_112.pdf\">feedback<\/a>\u00a0promote effective learning and development. Yet these are lacking in many decisions on publication or grant submissions.<\/p>\n<p>In our teaching of students, we adopt this nuanced, incremental and developmental approach because it improves learning. In contrast, academic publication or funding decisions can be binary: submissions are rejected or accepted, with little or nothing in between. What\u2019s missed in the process is a powerful learning and developmental opportunity for the academics whose work has presumably been assessed and evaluated.<\/p>\n<p>Second, it wastes an inordinate amount of academics\u2019 time, contributing to their well-documented\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/survey-of-academics-finds-widespread-feelings-of-stress-and-overwork-130715\">excessive workload<\/a>.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bmjopen.bmj.com\/content\/bmjopen\/3\/5\/e002800.full.pdf\">One study<\/a>\u00a0showed that for one round of a funding scheme in Australia researchers altogether spent more than 500 years of their time preparing proposals. Most of their proposals did not get funded.<\/p>\n<p>Third, rejection culture on top of excessive workloads\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mja.com.au\/system\/files\/issues\/211_11\/mja250414.pdf\">contributes to stress and anxiety<\/a>\u00a0among academics. Mental health issues have significant impacts on their work satisfaction, productivity and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mja.com.au\/system\/files\/issues\/211_11\/mja250414.pdf\">general well-being<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mental health problems among academics are already at an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/more-academics-and-students-have-mental-health-problems-than-ever-before-90339\">all-time high<\/a>. These problems occur at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/srhe.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/03075079.2020.1793934#.YBCuj-gzaUk\">twice the rate<\/a>\u00a0of the general population, an incidence higher even than among\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/uobrep.openrepository.com\/handle\/10547\/622171\">police or medical staff<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>This is what institutions can do<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Most papers on academic rejection focus on how the individual can improve their response \u2013 the so-called \u201csuck it up\u201d response. We argue, in contrast, that systemic or institutional responses can reduce the toxicity of the culture. Our recommendations for change fall into three main categories.<\/p>\n<p>First, make success criteria clear prior to applications and provide timely and targeted feedback afterwards. The opportunity costs of applying for grants, funding and publications \u2013 time and effort that could have been invested in something else \u2013 would then be minimised.<\/p>\n<p>This approach could involve pre-submission quality assessments. This can involve communities of academics assessing the quality of manuscripts before they are submitted for publication; journal editors would then only expend resources on the ones most likely to succeed. This would ensure academics pursue only submissions that are most likely to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>When funders and editors approach researchers directly and \u201ccommission\u201d proposals, that greatly reduces the opportunity costs. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.macfound.org\/\">MacArthur Foundation<\/a>, for example, now commonly does this.<\/p>\n<p>Second, the process of publication can be improved in several ways. For a start, editors can reduce the number of submissions forwarded for peer review.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mja.com.au\/system\/files\/issues\/211_11\/mja250414.pdf\">Researchers<\/a>\u00a0have studied the benefits of providing authors with prompt decisions and specific feedback aimed at improving chances of future publication. When the submissions review history is included too, it ensures the incremental improvements from feedback are not wasted. Future reviewers also appreciate this as it avoids the problem of different reviewers rejecting for conflicting reasons.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">For anyone who has ever had a rejection letter. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/btGw6I7X1L\">pic.twitter.com\/btGw6I7X1L<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Susan Smart (@ssmart7212) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ssmart7212\/status\/1002443111073746944?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 1, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Third, prioritising the mental health of academics at an institutional level will lessen the impacts of the rejection culture.
