'We accept only completely original content'

Post by ksheen4 »

My rejection message simply said 'We accept only completely original content', for an article about IVF. I'm not entirely sure what you mean - I wrote this article using some sources for information but it is original work written in my own words. I looked again at the guidelines, where it mentions that the article must contain original thoughts and ideas. Could you perhaps explain that more? In a factual article, there is not a lot of room for original thought. This is my first article for Constant Content - maybe I am missing the target audience. Are factual articles not appropriate? Thanks in advance for you help.

We do not accept content in which information has been taken word-for-word from another source. If the author has clearly set quotations off from the text, these may be used extremely sparingly, but all information must be in the author's own words. Authors may not rewrite articles written by another author. References may be included at the bottom if they do not constitute complete web addresses/links. Please truncate web sources to remove the http://www.

Thanks.
