Ya sé que es restringir un poco los destinatarios (aunque todo lo que aparece en la entrada puede extenderse a otros campos), pero me consta que la mayoría de mis lectores pueden encontrarle la gracia.
En primer lugar os dejo una viñeta bastante ¿reveladora? ¿irónica? ¿descriptiva? que encontré en Ovablastic (dónde no suelen indicar sus fuentes, todo sea dicho). Actualización: por a Tito Eliatron ahora sé que la viñeta proviene de Abstruse Goose. ¡Gracias!
Y a continuación un poco de música: My paper was rejected again (MP3), que he encontrado en Tito Eliatron Dixit:
My paper was rejected again
To the editor, please consider
My paper for review
The manuscript has been prepared
So my identity can’t be deduced
Your website says the turnaround time’s four months
But you’ll be four months overdue
And I’ll be feeling so blue.
And then my paper will be rejected once again
The first round was so maddening
The comments were almost laughable
But that was better than the second round
In which I received no comments at all
I waited for eight months
But no explanation was given
Not a single word of
Constructive criticism
And then my paper was rejected once again
Help me through the night,
Tell me when will this process ever come to an end?
I think my paper’s got it right
But should I throw it into the garbage bin?
Revise and submit to another journal
This process sure feels like it is eternal
But I will resend
And then
My paper will be rejected once again
