I am a Cancer Researcher and my work was primarily focused on non small cell lung carcinoma and cholorectal carcinoma. Being a novice at getting my studies published, I struggled to find a journal that would publish my research. The manuscript was rejected over and over due to minor issues such as scope mismatch or non adherence to journal guidelines. When I decided to move out of research, academic publishing was the obvious next step for me, so I could gain as much knowledge possible and help young researchers like me get published.
