The hard knock life of submitting to academic journals. I suppose it is submitting in multiple senses.

Lyrics

Even a tenured professor will feel somewhat like an amateur
Navigating your online submission manager
But I refresh the page again
Though my hope is wearing thin
How much longer must I wait?

Please, just let me know
One way or another
Is it a revise and resubmit?
Or a just shove it somewhere no one will ever discover?
Please, just let me know

Is it a desk rejection
for a special journal edition?
There must be somewhere else that will love her?
Just please, let me know
Please, just let me know
