Lessons Learned from 1,000 Research Paper Rejections

What do we need to do to polish the write-up of our research papers? 

Papers that are otherwise worth publishing often get rejected due to presentation pitfalls. After about 1,000 rejections over the past 30+ years, some patterns started to emerge. In this talk, we discuss the three most important of these patterns, their potential remedies, as well as a list of an additional dozen of patterns and remedies.
