CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH QUESTION ABOUT REJECTION

Post by anmjadj »

Hello. I submitted an article and the rejected it because they said i needed to revise my short summary section. I had to revise it because they said i could not describe my article as unique. I revised my short summary and they're rejecting it saying that it wasn't revised. I don't know what the problem could be. Please Help.

It's possible you copied part of your article and pasted it into the short summary section, or that the short summary words are exactly lifted from the article. You need to describe the article in a few sentences, summarizing what it's about and perhaps what type of website might find it useful. The description must be completely unique from the words used in the article.

Hope that helps! Good luck to you, and ask questions any time.

Just to add to Evelyn's help, I had one rejected for a summary that was too short, so make sure it makes up a couple of sentences.

If I remember rightly, the guidelines state that a short summary should be at least three sentences.

It does say that. I'm not sure if it's new since I came back (haven't been here since January). I just never received a "summary too short" rejection before from Ed, and I used to just put 2-3 sentences before. It was my little welcome back surprise when I was getting back into the CC swing of things again. LOL
