Editor's note[edit source]


Comments by Thomas Shafee ,
These editorial comments were submitted on , and refer to this previous version of the article

Having discussed this with other editors, we have the following notes:

  • The authors do not provide an electronic database search strategy.
  • In addition, they write March 2021 instead of I presume March 2020. Nonetheless, a search beginning on 31 December 2019, when China notified the World Health Organization of a pneumonia of unknown origin would be more appropriate.

Because of these issues we recommend declining at this time. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 02:07, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Evolution and evolvability: Thank you for your review. Apologize for my ignorance (I'm very new to the whole "WikiJournal" process), but is there a section on the WikiJournal guidelines on the procedures for when a paper is denied? Are we allowed to continue working on the paper and ask a reviewer to judge our paper at a later time? If we are continuing to work on a paper, should we move it to a different venue and only submit it to WikiJournal Preprints for consideration if it is 100% ready?
Thank you. —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 02:14, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No problem at all. It's fully reasonable to update the current page and resubmit. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 03:35, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That is a relief considering I was actively working on this page at the time of rejection. Thank you for that. As for re-working on this page, should I move the page so that the status <does not> read "this article has been declined for publication by the WikiJournal of Medicine". If so, how would I be able to do this? —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 03:39, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'd recommend doing a PRISMA or equivalent and getting advice from a statistician on doing some additional analyses (and potentially some basic visualisations of those analyses like a forest plot). The decline note is controlled via wikidata. The easiest way to work on a draft without that notice would be to make a copy of the page at "article name v2". Updated from that page can then be merged back in here at a later date. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 03:58, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate the time that you've taken to advice me and my colleagues. Thank you! —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 04:15, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
