Naveed Syed: Sometimes Rejection Strengthens Research
Naveed Syed, Hematology Specialist at Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Sometimes the best thing that can happen to your research is a rejection by experts in your own field.
If it isn’t being rejected, you’re probably not aiming high enough.
Reviewer feedback—though demanding—helps elevate the quality of any manuscript. While we work on these improvements, preprint platforms ensure the work remains visible and accessible.
This is our second article from the team: the first was a single-centre analysis, and now we present a first multi-centre, 14-year UAE stem cell transplant study, described in granular detail (disease level). We have tried to be as transparent as possible in reporting the data.
Until the revised version is ready and publsihed, the preprint is available for those interested.”
