Persistence. Dealing with failure and rejection are inherent parts of the academic game, be it in journal submissions, book proposals, conference papers, job applications, grant applications, fellowships, awards, or promotion.

Despite the inherent difficulties involved in being constantly rejected, I’ve found that these experiences almost always make my scholarship better, even if it’s just to solidify my own approach.

~Garrick Allen, Lecturer in New Testament, Dublin City University

    I don’t mind being rejected as long as I know I am in the right.

    I was very pleased to see the comment by Dr Garrick Allen here. He is a great addition to the Irish Biblical scene.
