| Jul 24, 2022 at 2:04 | comment | added | Allure | @BenBolker here is an example I got from a quick Google search: jobs.thebookseller.com/job/… | |
| Jul 23, 2022 at 19:12 | comment | added | 007 | @Allure: After posting on arXive, we got some 7+ invitations to publish, most of them were trash, however, one was from editor-in-chief (from a well known institute) of a peer-reviewed journal with IF 20+. However, their publishing cost is comparable to other average journals (IF 3~5) in the field even after 40% discount. | |
| Jul 23, 2022 at 18:22 | comment | added | Ben Bolker | @Allure, I would be surprised if a mainstream/non-predatory academic journal had an acquisitions editor; usually they sit back and wait for submissions. Academic publishers certainly have acquisitions editors who find book manuscripts to publish ... can you point to an academic journal that has an acquisitions editor ...?? | |
| Jul 23, 2022 at 18:13 | comment | added | Sabine | @007 The fact that the editor found only one reviewer might be an indication that your paper was not as good a fit as you think. I suggest you follow the advice by Bryan and also discuss with those others about where they would publish a paper like yours. | |
| Jul 23, 2022 at 14:30 | comment | added | Allure | It's not normal to receive offers for publishing -- surely not. There's a role called "acquisition editor" whose role is explicitly to go and find papers to publish. Granted it is of the "why don't you submit tor our journal" kind of message, but that can still be interpreted as an offer to publish. | |
| Jul 22, 2022 at 15:10 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | @007 Academic publishing can be very frustrating. I'd recommend getting input on your manuscript from other researchers that your group trusts for advice - sometimes it's hard to see weaknesses in the work you've put so much time into. It's hard to pretend to be an unbiased third party. | |
| Jul 22, 2022 at 15:05 | comment | added | 007 | Honestly, there are much worse publications published in their journal, so it's hard to understand. | |
| Jul 22, 2022 at 15:02 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | @007 Whether other journals will take your paper is not really a matter of concern for the editor of this one. | |
| Jul 22, 2022 at 15:00 | comment | added | 007 | There are few journals with a very good fit for this topic. This was one of those journals. Others are of a broader topic. Choice is more limited when we avoid journals with APC. | |
| Jul 22, 2022 at 14:54 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | @007 It's not normal to receive offers for publishing in academia, the way things work is you submit (to one journal at a time) and they review. If you're getting unsolicited offers by email or something, those are likely coming from "predatory publishers". These are not really "offers for publishing" they are "requests for money and we'll put it on our non-reputable website"; they don't care about your content, they care about your money. | |
| Jul 22, 2022 at 14:52 | comment | added | 007 | The content doesn't seem to be an issue based on the fact that we have received multiple offers for publishing after posting on arXiv. | |
