Hi Hötzi,

❝ Amazingly last year I reviewed a manuscript submitted to the International Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics. Based on the reviewers’ recommendations the editor did not accept the paper for publication.


Funny. I think I know another person who was a reviewer for that ms. Sounds like there was agreement between the reviewer opinions. :-D

❝ The authors had the balls to submit it to another journal (bad practice) and succeeded…


Even funnier, I think that's a very common practice for people working in academia. Submit first to a journal with a high impact factor (yes I know, sigh & yawn!), then titrate your way down to the appropriate level/journal by trial and error until acceptance. I think my personal record is 6 journals :-D - it was a paper dealing with codon usage in bacteria. Not indicating in any way that I like impact factors by mentioning this.

Pass or fail!
