How Are the Mighty Fallen: Rejected Classic Articles by Leading Economists
调查了世界顶尖经济学家(包括15位诺奖得主)被期刊拒稿的经历,发现许多后来成为经典的文章曾被拒,并探讨了拒稿模式与出版过程的教训。
The authors asked the world's leading economists to describe instances in which journals rejected their articles. More than sixty essays, by a broadly diverse group that includes fifteen Nobel Prize winners, indicate that most have suffered publication rejection, often frequently. Indeed, journals have rejected many papers that later became classics. The authors discuss the prize-winners’ experiences, other notable cases, and rejections by John Maynard Keynes when he edited the Economic Journal. Finally, they search in economists’ almost universal experience of rejection for patterns and lessons about the publication process.
