Figure 1.
The diagram titled Author’s mindset options contains two stacked flowcharts. Section A is titled Publication-driven process, Reverse order. It begins with Feedback from journal: Revise and resubmit. Two arrows lead to Accommodating all comments only technically, likely, and Ponder seriously the value of comments, possible. If comments are found helpful, arrows lead to Work seriously with comments, possible, and Even go back to the drawing board, only if really necessary to survive. If comments are found not helpful, arrows lead to Try to respond them anyway technically, likely, Discuss with editor, possible, and Withdraw and go elsewhere, unlikely. Section B is titled Motivated research question-driven process, Good scholarship. It begins with Feedback from journal: Revise and resubmit. Two arrows lead to Accommodating all comments only technically, unlikely, and Ponder seriously the value of comments, very likely. If comments are found helpful, arrows lead to Work seriously with comments, very likely, and Even go back to the drawing board, quite possible if found grounded. If comments are found not helpful, arrows lead to Try to respond them anyway technically, possible, Discuss with editor, possible, and Withdraw and go elsewhere, possible.Author’s mindset options
