Rejection is The Best Motivation

"Unfortunately, both reviewers have declined your submission, hence we
cannot publish your paper in ******. One author mentioned that around half
the references are not in English, making it difficult for the readership
of ****** to unravel the paper. Analysis is somewhat lacking. There are
many unsupported (by references) statements that generally detract from the
quality and academic integrity of this paper."

~ a love letter from an editor of a journal

The e-mail break my hope for being a contributor in an international journal. Absolutely I am very disappointed for receiving the email after I have waited for more than three months.

Yet, I think a good (future) researcher will not respond this response by being down and hopeless. I am sure that even a great researchers with considerable citations also experience this kind of things. 

I found that "rejection is the best motivation". I should learn from this experience. I should use the comments to make the paper be better. Then, someday, I must be one of the contributors of a journal with better index than the journal. Bismillah...Semangat...!!!
