Pro-tip for #academics from a #peerreviewed#journal #editor, who is tired and just wants to go to sleep. In your #ResponseToReviewers document, please PLEASE show us exactly what you changed. Don't just say "we changed the text". Thanks in advance. #science
I am sometimes thinking about journals where I could publish my results. Out of curiosity, because I once again got a predatory journal's email, I googled and I found "Beall's List" (of potentially predatory journals), which has been discontinued but has some successors.

The top reasons graduate students are leaving academia 🏃♂️
1. The funding climate is discouraging
2. Too competitive/lack of jobs
3. Lack of work-life balance
"Less than half (48%) of respondents say that they would prefer, ultimately, to work in academia. That’s down from 56% in 2019"
"I don’t want this kind of life"

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.

Review She Wrote
After four rounds of peer review, #Reviewer3 is found dead at his keyboard. The Editor is missing. The suspects are the article authors, but the journal’s system won’t reveal the their names without the editor’s login.
Can Emeritus Professor JG Fletcher use #Clues in the manuscript to figure out who is responsible before they come after her?
@academicchatter
@academicchatter, what tips do you have to review with kindness (when recommending major revisions)?
Question for experienced reviewers
Currently working on my first manuscript review report for an academic press. The manuscript is quite good and I don't see any glaring problems or need for major revisions. Given this, I'm not sure how much feedback is necessary or appropriate. For those who have done this before, any common dos and donts I should be aware of? @politicalscience @academicchatter
