I got my PhD with zero journal paper published or accepted. Since then, I have been wondering how many journal papers can eventually be published out of my dissertation. I think today, the end of the first five-year period, is a good time to check it out.
The list below maps the original chapters and sections to my papers:
A couple of months ago, I got another rejection from the same journal. The similar garbage-style review comments showed up again. Shame on me - I should have stopped sending papers to this journal. Instead of yelling back to the editor-in-chief, I stayed calm this time and moved on, with the hope that the journal can clean up the garbage reviewers.
At least, the editor and editor-in-chief should do their homework: clean up the garbage comments before sending them out to the authors.

- Ch1 Introduction >> (Hong, 2014)

The dissertation itself has been cited 41 times according to GoogleScholar.
As I mentioned in the blog post (The Gap between Academic Research and Industry Needs) two years ago, the first two papers written from my dissertation materials were rejected by a journal in 2010. I got negative comments from 10 reviewers, of which most are nonsense. One of the reviewers loved to use the word "garbage" in the review comments.
