As I rewrite/revise a paper recently rejected by a journal (after seven months under review), I found this article by Rob Weir at InsideHigherEd useful. He gives some great advice on getting academic articles published.
You should prepare numerous works and send them to multiple outlets in your field. Most journals demand exclusive rights merely to consider an article and if they reject it, you have to start over from square one. Going through the peer review process at three journals can easily consume a few years. Get several works into the cycle ASAP or your tenure decision will arrive before any of your work sees the light of day.
I would agree. It also makes that one rejection easier to take if you know you still have a couple other things under review.
