savfan104Our paper got rejected today :( I am sad. We were down to the last stage, too, according to the statistics we had a 50% shot.
Reviewer comments are harsh. All the biologists who I had talked to in person were much more positive, back at the biofilms conference.
Jaci assures me that I should stay positive.
Were we overambitious in our conclusions? Should I have gotten Gerard to accept scaling something back? Well, too late now.
Ah well. Fix based on reviewer comments, resubmit to someplace less ambitious...
[edit] Gerard wants to convince them to send it to another reviewer because he didn't think the second one played fair. Good luck... does that ever work? I'm so tired of this paper, I just want to send it off to somewhere where it'll be accepted... but he's probably right, should fight here while we can. [/quote]
