    Abstract

    The factors leading to the rejection rates for journal publishing in the atmospheric sciences is discussed. the rejection rates of submissions is less than the ultimate success rate for manuscripts because manuscripts can be withdrawn by the author and rejected manuscripts can be revised and resubmitted to the same or to a different journal with the hope of being published. Journals with low rejection rates include IJM (2%), unnamed (9%), NHESS (10%) and ACP (12%). The low rejection rates of these journals with a low number of submissions may be results of striving to improve received submissions and grow the journal. The reason for low rejection rate is the interactive peer review and public discussion which indeed has a deterring deficient submission and counteract the flooding of the scientific publication market.
