Rejection with no real reason
I am new here, and my first article was approved quickly. For my second I got a message saying that it was rejected for- see guidelines. That was it. Nothing specific. So, I looked again at the guidelines, and yes, I did folow all of them. I amnot really sure what exactly I could change. Does this happen often where the editors just say to see guidelines. It was not very helpful and I don't know what to do. Any ideas?

Re: Rejection with no real reason
I understand. But, I did check those things and my article did follow everything. It may have been possible that the font was off. For the last few weeks my word processing program has been changing font size without me doing anything. Every other thing on the list was there though. Should I make sure that the font is correct and resubmit?
