Teacher feedback dilemmas and the use of GenAI: Challenges or opportunities? tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
My sincere thanks to my primary supervisor’s continuous support and encouragement over the last two years. @CarlessDavid This could never happen without his patient guidance.
#edtech How can I promote feedback seekers 👉🏻 "if we want students to be pro-active participants in #feedback processes, it helps if they see teacher role models of generating and using feedback information"

All rejected papers share one common flaw: a weak discussion section.
I know because I used to write them too.
If you're stuck on the discussion section,
wondering how to tie it all together,
this is for you:
ALT Annotated parts of the discussion section: big summary/ importance statement for the science, scientific findings as extension of previous work, findings' scientific implications, how this engineering will facilitate future research, forward-looking statements about the field as a whole, a summary/importance of the engineering aspect of the work, how it facilitates scientific research, limitations of the platform show which questions would be unanswered, how it will facilitated medical research.
Great to meet with @CarlessDavid yesterday in Hong Kong to talk about feedback and the development of expertise. He offered the observation that medicine, architecture and teaching are the fields most interested in feedback.
#edtech "It is a must-read for educators, researchers, and academic developers in higher education who will benefit from a guide to feedback research and practice that addresses well recognised challenges in relation to assessment and feedback" Not only higher education 😉

Your paper isn't getting rejected because your research is bad.
Here's what actually gets papers rejected ⤵️
Your literature review is outdated
Copying and paraphrasing old reviews? Editors spot this instantly.
They want fresh citations from the last 2-3 years.
You're working on exhausted topics
When 1000 papers already exist on your topic, your work needs something genuinely new.
First movers get published. Fast followers get cited.
Your sample is too small or convenient
Student samples? Snowball sampling? Convenient sampling?
Desk rejection.
Premier journals demand robust methodology.
No theoretical contribution
Data without theory = rejection.
Your findings need to advance how we understand the phenomenon.
You're defending instead of revising
Getting a revise-and-resubmit is rare (5-7% of submissions).
Treat reviewer comments like gold.
Implement them. Don't defend.
The 3 things that changed my acceptance rate:
→ Mixed methods over single studies
→ Multiple experiments in one paper
→ Including co-authors with complementary expertise
Publishing isn't about being perfect.
It's about being strategic!
What's been your biggest publishing challenge?
1/6
