petersuberI just got an email from a journal inviting me to submit a paper for a upcoming special issue. Instead of asking me to say yes or no, it asked me to create an account on its web site and submit my yes or no through the web site. I said no by email. No to the paper, no to the web site.

noplasticshower@petersuber it's ridiculous. I get those pretty often as an independent scholar.
Egon Willighagen@petersuber for me they typically just create an account, without asking
Matt Hodgkinson@egonw @petersuber They have to if they use Editorial Manager, which far too many publishers do.
@petersuber It's like they've never heard of a deeplink.
