A great panel on "Autocracy and Authoritarianism" and Day 4 at #ecprgc23 is in the books. Glad that I could contribute by presenting some of my work on a three-dimensional conceptualization of Autocratization and its analytical application as well.

I really enjoyed the whole week by now. And definetly, I'm heading home with some very helpful suggestions and a lot of food for thought in my backpack 😊

@politicalscience

I'm going to stay at #ecprgc23 in Prague for the whole next week. I will also present a paper on differentiating forms of Autocratization in the panel on "Autocracy and authoritarianism". If anyone would like to exchange ideas over a coffee or beer, just get in touch! šŸ˜‰

Today's artwork generated with #rstats and #ggplot2:

Next, the editorial office checks the status of your paper and finds out that only two reviewers have accepted the invitation although the journal policy requires three. They contact someone who owes them a favour or a member of their editorial board. This person will take only a quick glance at the paper and write a positive, but generic review. This is #Reviewer3.

So – what do you think of my theory?? (4/4)

People lower down on the ranked list, who are even less likely to accept, are invited to review. At some point, one of them will accept the review for reasons that have nothing to do with your paper (boredom, feeling guilty, bad day…). This is #Reviewer2, who will not like your paper and tell you that you must change absolutely everything in it – to turn it into a paper they would have liked to read. (3/4)
Taking into account the typical ā€œdeclineā€ response rate, at least 6 very suitable reviewers from the top of the list will be invited. These are busy people, so only one of them accepts the invitation. This is #Reviewer1, who will write a helpful and constructive review. (2/4)

Here is my theory of #Reviewer2 – I’m curious to hear whether you find plausible!

It is commonly claimed that in any set of reviewers, #Reviewer2 is the really mean one. Here’s why:

You submit a paper to a journal. The journal uses an algorithm to assign reviewers. The algorithm is based on a comparison between the paper’s reference list and reference lists of published papers. It results in a ranked list of reviewers, with the best matches at the top. (1/4)

Question to the @rstats community relating #github and #quarto :

I just cloned my whole project folder including various subfolders and diverse file types (.cls, .bib, .R, .Rda, .RData, etc.) to a GitHub Repository.

Generally, it worked out like it is supposed to with one big exception: I can't commit and push the folder including the .QMD Files to GitHub as it is by now impossible to check the staged box. Is anybody familiar with this problem and can suggest a workaround?

From Sept 24-27, 2024, the German Political Science Association (DVPW) will hold its Convention in Gƶttingen. #dvpw2024

A call for papers for 98 panels has now been published:

With Nils Steiner, I'm looking forward to paper proposals for a panel on "Citizens’ and Politicians’ Beliefs About Public Opinion and their Consequences".
