I don’t doubt that it is all very clear in the authors’ minds, but I would have appreciated a greater effort to explain things to readers.”

It's good to wake up knowing that all reviewers agree that what we do is clear in our minds! 🤔

R1: “Very carefully designed and well-executed study. It considers an important question (with relevance beyond the immediate context) and does so in a convincing way.

[Erich Battistin @erichbpd]

R3: “Generally speaking, the paper is hard to follow. I had to read many paragraphs multiple times in an effort to understand the analysis being described. In many cases I had to then reverse engineer this process to understand the motivation for doing it.

HSS - When it comes to research evaluations, peer reviews and bibliometric analysis should be viewed as complementary rather than determinate, according to new paper - Queen Mary University of London https://t.co/puisCp2Nww via @QMUL

@FFScout_Mark Interesting stats! I formed all possible DGW pairs from past games and computed expected points by number of bottom-8 teams in each pair. Shaded lines denote GW26 combinations. Bruno vs Kane is a very close call!

The machine learning community discovers the relevance of models not being identified! They just had to give the concept their own name, “underspecification.” #EconTwitter #Econometrics

An extraordinary effort by my colleagues @WBG_Poverty to conduct a large-scale phone survey across South Asia to understand the effects of COVID.

Cool finding. For over a century, sons of immigrants to the US had greater upward mobility than sons of native born. The American dream. The US needs more immigrants!

In a paper that will be peer reviewed, never use the words 'clearly' or 'obviously.' If the statement really is clear or obvious, the reader will discern that fact anyway. And if it is not, then you've just told the reviewer that he/she is stupid. #AcademicTwitter #EconTwitter
