The New England Journal of Medicine stands as one of the most prestigious
medical journals globally and has served as an invaluable resource for
physicians worldwide, akin to a comprehensive textbook. I take great pride in
our three previous publications within the Journal, each falling under the
category of Images in Clinical Medicine.
Presently, I have submitted three new articles, spanning the categories of
Images in Clinical Medicine, Correspondence, and Clinical Problem-Solving.
Of the three, the one I thought might be accepted the most was the last to
be returned with a rejection decision next day. As expected, the correspondence was also
rejected for publication a week later.
To my surprise, the image case has been on the submission site for almost a month. I am an optimist,
but as far as this journal is concerned, I think there is a 10% chance of
acceptance. I look forward to hearing the final decision of the journal.
