Is it yours?? So, your wish had been fulfilled, I guess?
Now I`m thinking to buy one too, and paint the eyes if I get my paper accepted this year, hahaha
By the way, I`m just desperately encouraging myself and right now I can`t even use my brain to work.
Hopefully I can recover (not sure if this is the correct use) very very soon.
Thanks for the daruma, Casandra
Hi nikou,
Nope it's not mine, it's google's
but I do have one tho not signifying anything. If it were mine, then it would be forever one-eyed...or I'd paint it with lots of eyes all over its face.....goodluck......and get your brain to work now 
...casandra
Its part of research. Don't take it too hard on yourself. Try other journals and hopefully the manuscript will be accepted.
Its better to have good data and good publications than to have many publications.
People do all sorts of cheap things to get publications. They use contacts to get things published which are crap.
Good Luck !!!
I hope they at least gave you the service of a decent review and justification for rejection.

That was definitely no fun at all *sigh...*
Anyway, as people in Japan always say "Ganbatte!" to encourage others , which means "Fight!" or "Don`t give up!", I will use that word too for my self
May all of us blessed with good data and more importantly good (and many) publications

This is after waiting nearly 6months to hear back from them...
Sucky journal anyway- I shall submit somewhere else!
Gambarimasu! and Gambatte nikou-san
Wait a min! Does this rejection has anything to do with Nihon-go? Scary
Beside the 'rejection', the other thing common between U 2 is the language. . 
is there any association? Hello Nabi, what did you mean about the association?
I just assume LostintheLab is staying in Japan (or maybe is a Japanese? I don`t know
), so we just used the common phrase in Japanese casandra on Feb 10 2009, 07:17 PM said:

Haha!
I guess you`re right, two eyes aren`t enough for us, huh?
Actually, yesterday was a holiday in Japan, so I took a break, stayed at home, and practiced dancing the whole day. I thought nothing about the paper
But today, here I am facing the real life all over again. Come on brain, let`s do something!
To Scolix and GeorgeWolff,
Thanks!
I`m now trying to do what I can do with the paper. Honestly, the reviewers mentioned some good advices for my paper.
So, maybe submitting to the journal is not a bad idea after all, even though I got rejected
Anyway, thanks to everyone!
Now I feel like I was such a baby fussing about my rejection
A friend of mine said, "Hey Nikou, welcome to science world. Now you are officially a scientist "

I just assume LostintheLab are staying in Japan (or maybe is a Japanese? I don`t know
), so we just used the common phrase in Japanese Hi Nikou-san, Ohio! I was simply exploring the association between the factor and event - not necessarily implying that the factor caused the result. For that we might need to do randomised studies.
There should be some relation between the chances of acceptance of a manuscript with the region/country the study belongs to.
This is way too scientific- I suppose you'd have to factor in the journals country of origin too. Maybe Monday was just the day for having papers rejected from Japan
As for me- I live here , but I"m not orginally from Japan and my poor Japanese is getting worse by the minute as is my brain- I need another national holiday

Only two, nope, multiples are always better and preferably along the tradition of Picasso or Miro (who cares for symmetry or balance)
....so what kind of dancing are you practicing? The bon-odori or hip hop.....welcome to the real life... LostintheLab on Feb 12 2009, 11:04 AM said:
