Panel Session on How to Deal with Paper Rejections UFHRD

On January 15th 2021, I was part of a panel session organized by the University Forum for Human Resource Development (UFHRD). During this meeting, we discussed strategies for dealing with paper rejections. Along with Mina Beigi, Valerie Anderson and Ronan Carbery I reflected on the many rejections that we all receive during our career, and how we have adopted strategies to cope with this in effective ways. We also reflected on our own role as editors and the contributions we make to other people's experiences when their submitted manuscripts get rejected. Talking about rejection experiences is not always as common and accepted as we might hope, but this session opened up the discussion, which was highly appreciated by the attending audience. This was a really great session to be part of! Just a shame that I got another rejection of my own literally hours after finishing this session...
