I had been open about my publishing journey on social media, and had shared each step it had taken me over the course of eighteen months &#8211; with rejections and revisions aplenty. The academic publishing process can be daunting for a rookie researcher, and sharing my failures and then ultimate success with my community on social media gave me a place to both vent and celebrate with others who had been through the process many times before.<\/p>\n<p>As most academics do, I have now come to expect rejection. There is nothing unusual about such in academia \u2013 research is built on peer-review and journals with high standards and even higher rejection rates. <strong>Rejection is both a rite of passage and a way of life for academics.<\/strong> We are reminded of this often through corridor conversations, mentorship, and our own experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Yet failure is not openly and honestly shared or spoken about in the wider sphere of academia. Sure, we all know that failure is the name of the game, but it is not <em>really<\/em> spoken about. I remember this <a href=\"http:\/\/aidanhorner.blogspot.ca\/2014\/06\/my-negative-cv.html\" target=\"_blank\">negative CV<\/a>\u00a0doing the rounds on social media last year \u2013 and how radical it seemed at the time that someone was willing to share <em>all<\/em> their failures (gasp!) in an arena where a career \u2013 <strong>and for many academics self-worth<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 is tied to wins. Yet wins cannot be achieved without the failures. Go figure.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thesiswhisperer.com\/2014\/10\/22\/why-you-should-use-twitter-during-your-phd\/\" target=\"_blank\">I am a big advocate for sharing our life\u2019s work on social media<\/a>, but have often wondered why we only share our \u2018wins\u2019. <strong>Do the failures speak to a lack of competency? No, I don\u2019t believe so.<\/strong> Declaring a failure for the world to see speaks to shame and vulnerability &#8211; and also to courage and commitment. Now, I am not suggesting that all academics share all their failures all of the time \u2013 for I am told that you just get to a point where it does not bother you any longer as there are just too many to share \u2013 but I do believe that we owe it to emerging academics to, at the very least, open up the conversation a little more. Indeed, a Guardian piece recently reminded us <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/higher-education-network\/2015\/nov\/04\/academics-you-are-going-to-fail-so-learn-how-to-do-it-better\" target=\"_blank\">academics: you are going to fail, so learn how to do it better<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The opposite of fragility is not resilience or robustness, it is antifragility. The ability to be poised to benefit or take advantage of stress, errors and change, the way, say, the mythological Hydra generated two new heads, each time one was cut off.\u00a0Perhaps it is this antifragility that we need to cultivate as emerging researchers, rather than mere stubborn grit. Growing and learning out of our academic challenges, rather than merely ploughing through them.<\/p>\n<p>[Bridie Scott-Parker]\u00a0Seven years later, I still recall the daunting \u2013 nay terrifying \u2013 experience of submitting my first manuscript for peer review. While the paper from my Honours thesis emerged quite organically over a month or so (hilarious that I thought this took forever to happen), I actually spent more than 6 hours frantically checking everything was attached correctly, screens were completed, etcetera, then reading the entire PDF generated by the journal\u2019s online submission system, before clicking \u2018yes I want to submit this article for peer-review\u2019 (and no I won\u2019t change my mind because I am not allowed to\u2026.). Then the dreaded reviews arrived and I was crushed. Clearly I was a complete failure as a researcher, an academic, and as a human, and I should abandon all hope and live in a cave for the remainder of my life! Again, hilarious as my supervisors said that the comments were pretty good! I could see no good and I took some persuading that it is not personal. Having survived the review-revise-respond-review-revise-respond merry-go-round many many times since then, I have the benefit of hindsight to see that those reviews were indeed quite favourable. I also have the benefit of understanding that this is a normal part of disseminating findings, and that as researchers, academics, and authors, our skills are strengthened considerably each time we receive constructive feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Please note also that I don\u2019t live in fairy land. Sometimes reviews are one or two sentences along the lines of \u2018this is rubbish, go away\u2019 or \u2018this is good and could be improved by some minor changes\u2019, without actually providing any guidance regarding what was good, what was less good, and how to improve the manuscript. Such reviews are a waste of time for the reviewer, the editor who manages the review process, and the authors who are trying their best to share their research in an engaging and informative manner.<\/p>\n<p>I have found over time that I have become the \u2018poster child\u2019 for antifragility. Take all feedback on board \u2013 good and bad \u2013 and learn from it. Where are my research and writing strengths? Where are my research and writing weakness? Don\u2019t be afraid to ask peers and colleagues for unbiased feedback regarding your strengths and weaknesses. This information will only help you in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>Last week I had the wonderful opportunity to serve as a mentor to a group of PhD students as they traversed the steeplechase-like process of preparing and submitting a paper for peer review. While I have no experience or skills in Indonesian diglostics, storm runoff, and conceptualisation of climate change adaptation, I have antifragility. I shared my own experiences and tips and tricks I have discovered to make the writing process that little bit easier. I also shared what reviewers look for, and cautioned against easy ways to \u2018annoy\u2019 reviewers and editors (my personal all-time favourite, don\u2019t use any punctuation!). Yes, I completed my doctoral dissertation by peer-reviewed publication, and yes, I have a steady stream of post-doctoral peer-reviewed publications. However what you don\u2019t see is the many frogs I proverbially had to kiss before the manuscripts turned into princes. My personal best (not my own project, I am pleased to say) was 18 different versions submitted to 9 different journals, and 3 email conversations between myself as corresponding author and the journal editor, before the paper was finally accepted. Each time the paper was revised, and sometimes it was resubmitted to the journal that provided the reviewer feedback (if not outright rejected). Yes, this is frustrating, but the final article (my silk purse) is so much better that the original submission (the sow\u2019s ear). Bear in mind also that revising a manuscript in light of reviewers\u2019 comments \u2013 even when you have done so 4 times \u2013 does not guarantee that it will be published within that journal.<\/p>\n<p>Again, antifragility is the way to go \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image:\u00a0Mosaico Trabajos H\u00e9rcules (M.A.N.
