Where to submit your paper

Submitting to an academic journal can be stressful as you wait and wait and hope for a "revise and resubmit" that simply doesn't happen. Well, it doesn't have to be this way. Now you can submit to a prestigious journal and get rid of all the stress and uncertainty. At the Journal of Universal Rejection, all submissions, regardless of quality, will be rejected. But there are many advantages:
  • You can send your manuscript here without suffering waves of anxiety regarding the eventual fate of your submission. You know with 100% certainty that it will not be accepted for publication.
  • You may claim to have submitted to the most prestigious journal (judged by acceptance rate).
  • You retain complete rights to your work, and are free to resubmit to other journals even before our review process is complete.
  • Decisions are often (though not always) rendered within hours of submission.
