📉 Many research papers get stuck in Q4 journals.
But here’s the truth → most of them can be reshaped into Q1 contenders.
I recently analyzed a rejected Q4 paper on AI-driven text generation.
The insights were clear:
❌ Weaknesses holding it back:
● No abstract or structured summary
● Weak research gap in the introduction
● Descriptive (not critical) literature review
● No methodology (e.g., PRISMA)
● Missing discussion & policy insights
● Low-impact references
● Wordy writing style
● No visuals, tables, or frameworks
✅ What turns it into Q1:
● Add a structured abstract
● Sharpen the gap & contribution
● Use systematic review methodology
● Focus on synthesis & critical analysis
● Add a discussion & recommendations
● Cite from top journals
● Improve precision & tone
● Include tables, figures, frameworks
💡 Lesson:
A Q4 rejection isn’t the end.
With the right improvements, a paper can rise to the level of Q1/Q2 journals.
