What Are Common Challenges in Publishing Peer-Reviewed Epidemiological Research?
One challenge faced by researchers is the lengthy review process, which can delay the dissemination of important findings. Additionally, there is often a high rejection rate due to the rigorous evaluation criteria, which can be discouraging for researchers, especially those early in their careers. Furthermore, issues related to the reproducibility of studies and potential conflicts of interest can complicate the publication process. Addressing these challenges requires a commitment to transparency, open science, and ethical research practices.
