Question Description:
Yesterday, I got an email from Journal editor. It seems my paper got rejected because I read a statement "After careful consideration in the editorial board, we regret to inform you that your paper is rejected for publication as its present form."
But, this morning, I re-read again his email carefully and found this statement "We encourage you to resubmit the paper after revising it according to the reviewers' comments".
So I got confused, does it mean my manuscript is not totally outright rejected (I still have a second chance) or what?
Thank you so much for your response.
