In-Brief
Introduction
Challenges to translate research studies conducted in thefield of pharmaceutical sciences into publishedmanuscripts are common.
Journal papers, reviews, brief letters, commentaries,proceedings, expert statements, and editorials areexamples of manuscripts written in scholarly journals.
‘Research’ and ‘Review’ articles are the most importantand influential styles among them, and they are widelypublished, read, and popularised.
A research manuscript published in a reputablenational or international journal is known as substantiationof accurate and dependable studies conducted by aresearch group.
Reasons formanuscriptrejection
There are a variability of explanations for this; the most common(non-limiting) ones are discussed below:1. LACK OF NOVELTY, ORIGINALITY, AND PRESENTATION OFAN OBSOLETE STUDY
The key criteria that a science journal editor emphasizes themost are novelty and non-obviousness.
Unless the researcher shows something different, adding to theexisting experience, a mouth dissolving tablet formulation ofdrug-using traditional techniques, technologies, and provenexcipients adds little innovation to the existing state of thesector.
Furthermore, introducing an out-of-date analysis when newerapproaches are now available has little to no experimental merit.
The purpose of the analysis is to make a point with proper justifications and adequateevidence.
A controlled release formulation of a nearly water insoluble medication may be refusedright away on these grounds.
The rationale, which should be the article’s core subject, should focus on the wholemanuscript.
The last sentence in the introduction section should usually include the goal andobjective.
Rejection is caused by a lack of emphasis and an inability to stick to the manuscript’stheme..
2. IMPROPER RATIONALE
Peer-reviewed journal publications disseminate information.
As a result, a manuscript must have considerable empirical merit to be published in awell-recognized, international journal.
Again, the publisher is on the lookout for anything novel that still meets the standards ofhis journal’s reach.
Any manuscripts show that the work performed in the research sample was doneincorrectly.
It is due to the researcher’s lack of expertise, as shown by the preliminary literaturesurvey conducted before beginning the project.
3. UNIMPORTANT AND IRRELEVANT SUBJECT MATTER
4. Flaws in methodology
It is due to the researcher’s lack of expertise, as shown by the preliminary literaturesurvey conducted before beginning the project.
A 300 mg tablet prepared with an 8 mm circular punch would have an increasedthickness and is thus unsuitable for preparation.
If this is seen in the manuscript, it will give the reviewers an unscientific interpretation.
If a study’s approach is flawed or doubtful, the results are almost certain to be flawedor questions as well, and even widely regarded peer-reviewed publications will notconsider such a study.
The researcher must have adequate knowledge to interpret the precise explanations forthe study’s findings.
Even if the findings aren’t quite what the author anticipated, the author should objectivelyunderstand the reason in the discussion section.
It is not enough to demonstrate good results. If the root cause of the negative effects iscorrectly interpreted, manuscripts will support future study.
5. LACK OF INTERPRETATIONS
The use of statistics in the methodology and findings pages of a manuscript gives it anadvantage over the competition since statistics are already in demand.
The risk of the manuscript being accepted would be increased if the data are presentedprecisely, and mathematical rules are applied.
Occasionally, a manuscript may be submitted to a reader who is not an authority in thearea of the matter under consideration.
6. INAPPROPRIATE OR INCOMPLETE STATISTICS
7. REVIEWERS FIELD OF KNOWLEDGE AND DISCRETION
He may send the manuscript a glance before determining its fate.
In such circumstances, it is expected that the manuscript has a better probabilityof being accepted; however, the reverse may also happen.
Before determining whether to submit a research report for review, the Editor-in-Chief considers its content about that of the journal.
If the manuscript is unusual, some journals will research lead molecules ratherthan known and proven drug molecules.
The date of publication and the importance of the subject matter published ina journal are also important considerations.
8. INAPPROPRIATENESS FOR THE JOURNAL
With the introduction of advanced in vivo drug measurement technology andmethods for estimating drug concentrations in minute amounts in a specificsubject, a manuscript is handicapped if the in vitro data is not supported byapplicable in vivo observations and correlations.
Acceptance of manuscripts based solely on data produced by in vitroassessments is difficult in the current environment.
A less-than-borderline paper may be accepted in certain situations if it is well-packaged.
It may be difficult for an assessor to tell the difference between “introduction” and“discussion” in some situations.
9. LACK OF IN VIVO STUDIES
10. INAPPROPRIATE PACKAGING OF THE MANUSCRIPT
The introduction aims to present the research topic and to state the article’sobjective(s) or goal(s).
The aim of the ‘discussion’ is to analyze the study, make comparisons toprevious experiments, and analyzing the findings.
The ‘materials and procedures’ section should be comprehensive enough forevery student to replicate the analysis. In reality, this is useful for confirmingthe study’s authenticity.
The ‘Discussion’ must be relevant to the research.
Some manuscripts have potential, but due to the status of the journal and thevast number of hits to the journal, prospective manuscripts must be rejectedbecause they face stiff competition from the Editor-in-higher-graded Chief’sresearch manuscripts.
If a thesis is rejected on these points, it will eventually find a home in anotherwell-regarded publication.
