Stu Watts"Remember, it's not an exam, it's a time-limited competency assessment". Glad that's cleared up then. #academia #ShitAcademicsSay
Mark KuczewskiWe academics often complain about the proverbial "Reviewer 2" in the blind peer review process. Reviewer 2 not only hates your paper but generally misses the point and makes criticisms that are impossible to address. But I just want to say that it was a pleasure to be Reviewer 1 on a paper and open an email this morning to see that the editor had accepted that paper and not let Reviewer 2 sink some pretty decent work. #shitacademicssay #gratitude
Noam writesMust resist! I will not write bad #puns in feedback to students. I'll post it here instead.
"Oil shocks had lead to..."Well, maybe they should switch to unleaded.
Geddit? As you misspelled 'led'?
Usually you have no choice but to agree to the #privacy #policy of various websites. But occasionally you do.
Recently, I've noticed that in order to review #papers for #academic #journals, you have to agree to their privacy policy just to log in. Reviewing is work you do for free and anonymously. I said 'no' last time that happened, and emailed the editor to say I didn't agree with their policy. He was sympathetic, and suggested I just email him the feedback directly.
I'm not saying no a second time, and have emailed the publishers explaining. let's see what happens.

"I'm no longer willing to review papers that consider #technology the solution to climate change."
I've done this several times now. #ShitAcademicsSay #climateChange

Reviewer: this paper is a flaming piece of garbage.
Authors during rebuttal: we thank the reviewer for their insightful comment
