Empty vessels make the most noise...

Ain't life a funny thing?!? In my last post I talked about a paper that we submitted and was not approved for publication. The same week we submitted that paper, we submitted another one with much less content and scientific content, to another magazine...
Now the result came and the paper is accepted. Even better than that, the referee thought that the paper was "new, fresh and inspiring"!! WTF!!!!!!!!
I really swear that I don't understand nothing more. A beautifully written paper with lot of science get "kicked" and a simple draft with more bla, bla, bla than science is "inspiring"?? Please don't take me wrong. I'm very glad that the paper was accepted for publication, but the different reaction of both referees is just mindboggling. Probably we cited some works of the referee, who knows!? That old saying comes to my mind: Empty vessels make the most noise...

Work hard, write paper, and cry...

Hello folks!
It has quite some time since write anything here. Well, that's a sign of how busy I have been lately. After the summer, we start working in two research papers, that we ended up submitting by the end of November. Now after almost two months the report of the referee comes back and it came with a sour, bitter taste! The referee just kicked our asses into the street, stripped us naked and dragged through an old road with our feet tied up to a pickup truck. Well, sort of!
This is what happens when you try to enter in a mainstream research field and you dare to present new ideas. At least that is what my adviser said. I think that we probably didn't cite any of the referee's work and he didn't like it. Who knows, right?
The main problem is that the referee was too emotive in the report and didn't criticize the core of the paper, he just bashed the concept that we are trying to introduce. Now we have to figure out a way of putting our words in a more clear way. If at least my adviser could help me on this! NOT!!!!
