14. Be happy if your paper gets a “revise and resubmit”. Revise your paper and make sure you address all of the referees’ comments, even if you don’t entirely agree with them. In addition, write a separate document in which you go through the referees’ comments one by one and explain what you did to address them. If you think a comment is completely wrong, explain why in the most respectful way. Then resubmit your paper together with your response to the referees’ comments.
15. Rejections are a natural part of the process. Anybody who submits nontrivial work to philosophy journals gets rejections. Consider that Wittgenstein submitted the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus to many publishers and they all rejected it. If you receive feedback on your paper, study it carefully and revise your paper so as to prevent anyone from making the same criticisms (whether fair or unfair). If you received no feedback, ask yourself whether the paper might have weaknesses that can be remedied. If yes, revise the paper before sending it somewhere else. If not, submit it immediately to another journal.
