I’ve handled the review of > 1000 papers at @nature. Over time, you notice aspects of presentation on which reviewers tend to comment. In the interests of minimizing hassles during review, I offer the following suggestions (a bit targeted to climate papers).

@cecilia_brighi Hard to convince beer drinkers. The takeover companies will continue to pay taxes to SAC. Existing FDI should be encouraged to stay. We do not know how long the revolution will take, and there is no guarantee of political stability beyond it. Aids can not replace jobs.

@cecilia_brighi What about the European countries continuing to import gas from Russia?

[Andrew Laitha @chlaitha]

@DerekTonkinUK @cecilia_brighi Agree with @DerekTonkinUK. No taxes and SAC extort money from the people. If foreign companies pull out of Myanmar, the military and its associated companies will dominate the market. Beer drinkers will have no choice but to drink what ever beer brand is available on the market.
