Original Content?

Post by AdriannaFox »

Hi, I submitted an article that was reviewed and rejected because of a few errors. So I followed the advice, corrected the problems and resubmitted it. Then it was reviewed and rejected because 'We accept only completely original content.'

Please can somebody explain what this means? I assumed that it meant they would not accept plagiarised or copied content, but I know that I have done neither of these things. The article was completely my own work and I don't understand the reason for rejection.

Any ideas? Thanks :)

Has the work been published (even under your own name) elsewhere?

If not, it could be that the wording is very similar to another article on the same subject.
