Dear editors. Now is a great time to send me a decision.

The working paper version of our forthcoming Sociological Science article is now up. Refugees achieved greater English proficiency than economic migrants during the Ellis Island era, according to detailed linguistic measures from a large collection of oral histories www.nber.org/papers/w31730

There are people who use citation software, but I do it by hand and really like it. Are there really any advantages to the software?

I have an invite code to blue sky if anyone wants it.

I'm in! @petercatron.bsky.social I really wish we could all converge in one spot, though.

From submission to acceptance, Sociological Science is a very well run journal.

A fun thing that happens in my department is that when a former prof sadly passes, all the old timers email everyone saying "he was a standup guy, but here's where we disagreed.."

If Sociological Science gives a conditional accept, am I required to write a memo detailing revisions or have they done away with that, too?

Does Sociological Science want cover letters upon submission?
