Editor: the article didn't feel like it belong to the energy of our journal

Why don't you try in Annals of Proctology...?

Alex Sutherland @criminologist.bsky.social · 29d

got a desk reject at a journal.

editor said 'out of scope' & referred 2 some editorials re journal scope

I sent the criteria in those editorials back to editor & asked why the paper wasn't in scope

won't change any minds but I'm not putting up with BS

What’s the point of trying to be funny by exaggerating reality when reality is already surreal?

Great post by @paulbloomatyale.bsky.social

'Only interdisciplinary conversations worth having are those that go on inside a single head'

Interdisciplinary work sounds cool but in practice fails because scientists are lazy and don't engage with the methods/theories of other disciplines

I have the naive belief that people can redeem themselves and deserve a second chance whatever crime they have done, but maybe is unfeasible, not realistic or even morally not just

Maybe you are right...

Editors complaining about authors using IA in such a sloppy way that they include hallucinated references of journal editors!

Unless there are costs this won't change

Start applying punishments to academic offenders: e.g. a public list of authors not allowed to publish in the journal for 2 years?

Ben Williamson @benpatrickwill.bsky.social · Sep 6

The AI authorship issue is real. We've caught papers that looked OK but had references to works by the *journal editors* that *do not exist*. Like, don't send us papers citing papers we know we didn't write, right?

When you think about it it’s a bit funny — Econ doing so much instrumental variable analysis which relies on exclusion restriction (~ full mediation) & psych doing so much mediation analysis which relies on no mediator-outcome confounding (the plausibility of which is why Econ does IV to begin with)

yes, do a big continuos break, getting together, connecting, and having a great time meeting your friends from around the world (at least many humans tell me that this something they really appreciate about this events)

Agree, but...

every year I hear the same complains about big conferences (massive, crazy time allocation, no time to discuss or even present, etc.)

Why not acknowledge that is just simply a paid social event + network and has nothing to do with academia (thats why psychopaths dont go...)

Top conference questions:

"Hi, I have a comment but have not formulated my thoughts ahead of time so bear with me for a few minutes"

"Hi, thanks for the great talk, let me just bring up an unrelated topic that will completely derail the entire discussion"
