I sent a couple of papers out in late August; both have gone for review. No news is good news, right?
I hope I'm right.
I just heard back about a manuscript that was out for a year and I'd pretty much written off. It was accepted, with no revisions. So no news could definitely be good news - you just never know! |

That's a good omen, I hope, Monita. Congrats on having a paper accepted without revisions - that's rare praise! |

No revisions? Wow - and to think that little ol' me is deliriously happy with R&Rs!
Speaking of chasing happiness: submitted an article and a conference paper this morning (both online forms; not quite sure what to think of that) and heard that an article accepted last spring will now go into print.
Current tally: one book and one article under review; one article submitted; one conference paper submitted. Am exhausted.
I'm having a Worm-movie marathon this afternoon (you know, Tremors). Currently, the second is running and the little monster is almost cute! Oh - they shot it! Oh - wait - there are more ...

Sounds like everyone has something good to be thankful for this holiday! I submitted a co-authored paper to a journal earlier this week, and the (conditionally, based upon academic press?) accepted chapter's book is about to go under review at a good university press. Now I just need to finish the revisions on my behemoth article, submit it, and then start to work on a new project. But I think I will take the rest of the holiday off (i.e., 2 days) and just come back refreshed. I think we all deserve a break, especially since it sounds like we were all working hard throughout the semester!

Phlegmatic, I like your style. May I have the holiday off as well, even tho' my Thanksgiving was over a month ago?

Do it! Any U.S. journals you might send your articles to would be on holiday, anyway. Why fight it? ;) And so as to not derail the thread, I am planning to finish revising the conclusion to my behemoth paper tomorrow. Then the intro, then edit the whole thing, then submit! |

Another chapter has been soundly beaten into shape (give or take a couple of spacing issues). Just a few more to go. God, this is taking for-freakin'-ever.

Couldn't we all just have this tattooed on our foreheads? I have a journal article out to an international publication, so I had held onto hope that I would hear back from them regardless of the US holiday; I am just at their usual response time. Nada, though. And the other piece I have out was just submitted, so I doubt that the editor has even opened the envelope yet (yes, this pub wants paper copies). I want gratification, d@mnit! |

One of the best journals in my field also wants paper copies - two of them - and they're overseas, so you can imagine the shipping costs. Not only that, but they don't use email at all - not even to let you know they've received it. Nor to reject it - that was also done by snail mail, many months after the original submission was sent.
This is the 21st century, people!

Conclusion is revised! Next step: revise the introduction. This might take a week (since I can't write every day).
And wow, re: the journals who want paper copies. I hope you hear back from them soon! Maybe they will send a messenger pigeon?

Back to work on my book before my editor becomes unhappy! Have to finish before Christmas. It's 6/7 done.

Moan, moan, moan. I HATE doing revisions. I HATE that some of them are my fault for not expressing myself clearly (ideas were still in development and paper part of a much wider theoretical/ intellectual project which is on-going). I HATE that some of them aren't my fault, but because the paper has been misread. I HATE the sick feeling I get in my stomach when I read what other people write about my work. I HATE rereading my own work. I HATE that the reviewers are contradictory. I HATE that the negative reviews are the ones that the editors concentrate on and the one asking for minor revisions was largely ignored.
But, if I can get this done by Wednesday, it will be published early in the new year.

Just popping in to say that I'm pushing through a revise and resubmit before the slew of final papers come in. It's amazing how physically tiring mental work is! Not that I am arguing in any way that it's as difficult as other kinds of labor, because I don't believe that. But still, at the end of a major writing session, I'm physically tired.

Anonima1, you are so right! Lecture-writing, paper-writing, marking - it's all bloody exhausting!
This is where it's very handy having another academic for an SO. He gets this - so many wouldn't.

Well, I got what I think is good news (of a sort) today, but it's also very funny. I told y'all that I sent off the requisite four hard copies of our article to the Very Prestigious Journal a couple of weeks ago. Today there was a fairly thick packet in my box from the journal, and I thought, "Oh, bummer--the editor has kicked it back without even sending it out for review." I opened the envelope, and discovered our article, with a cover letter addressed to a reviewer and the review sheet. Yes--just a little mailing error; they mailed it to the wrong address! So now I know that it's been send out for review--kind of. :)
I'll be calling the editor on Monday to find out whether I should just send it on, or send it back to him for rerouting. It's no big deal either way, since the journal is open-review. I'm just hoping that the other copies actually went to reviewers, and that they won't arrive in my box early next week.
