@EikoFried I had a review request from an Elsevier journal recently that I went to decline, and uBlock blocked the link because it redirected/went through a site on Peter Lowe's ad and tracking list. It's ridiculous that they're putting tracking cookies in links sent to academic emails.

@LucasBellaiche Congrats!!!

@dp_moriarity If it's not, it should be. (Good luck!)

[Grant Shields @grantsshields]

@JennCVeilleux Yeah, I do; I included those two alone just because it was a secondary outcome and our scan time couldn't accommodate more trial types, so we went with the most-studied ones. I'd love to talk about better approaches!

[Grant Shields @grantsshields]

@whlevine I would. My hope would be that the editor wants to use it to make a more informed decision before sending the manuscript out to others with reviewer requests.

[Grant Shields @grantsshields]

@JennCVeilleux I'd love to hear your thoughts on better paradigms for the future! We included it as a secondary outcome, primary being EF, but I'd like my secondary outcomes to be the best they can be!

[Grant Shields @grantsshields]

@Dr_MaytalM @ISPNE @AcademicChatter I read Nessa Carey's, "The Epigenetics Revolution," some time ago and liked it a lot. It could be somewhat dated now, though.

[Grant Shields @grantsshields]

@dp_moriarity IMO if you're not sure you're doing something right, bring on a collaborator to help before submission. No one should rely on peer reviewers to catch their errors.

[Grant Shields @grantsshields]

@dp_moriarity It's the editor's responsibility to ensure all aspects of the paper are reviewed w/ expertise. The authors presumably think everything is 💯 because they submitted. I'd be surprised if authors solicited feedback from others because reviewers said they lack expertise on an aspect
