S3, Episode 4 - How to Regroup from Rejection, Try Again, and Get Published with Matthew Evans

Abstract

Matthew Evans (he/they) was a PhD candidate in the department of Psychology when we recorded this episode in the spring of 2026. The publishing process presented hurdles, but he persevered and eventually found success beyond what he expected. We discuss desk rejections and manuscript revisions following peer review. Matt received an award for his article, so we talk about that achievement as well.
