I was really hoping for a revival of the Journal of Polymorphous Perversity, but I'll settle for this.

The paper my colleagues and I wrote was probably rejected from, or told it was a bad fit for, around 10 journals. Thankful that we found a home with JOIBS! In addition to all the issues raised in this article, another problem is that it takes a huge amount of time to reformat articles for each new submission. This is yet one additional disincentive to do work that is controversial, admittedly incremental (IMO much of published social science is incremental yet described otherwise), or likely to produce null results.
