For the sanity of a reviewer, please use line numbers when you submit a manuscript #grumpyreviewer
-- Am I checking where my peers are at with one of my papers while me, myself, and I are procrastinating about 4 reviews we accepted to do over the holidays?
-- Yes. I am.

"Aim 1 will employ..." NO. Aim 1 is your idea; it cannot employ anything. You are the one employing the method so you can accomplish your idea. Do not assign volition and action to things that cannot think or act. #GrumpyReviewer
me to client: "I'm actively frustrated by not being able to read the graphic, even at 400%. It looks interesting, but functionally contains no information."
Because I can't actually read it. #GrumpyReviewer
I know there's a fierce debate about whether tables & figures should be within the body of the text or after the bibliography, but I think we can all agree that un-hyperlinked table/figure references are a non-starter. #GrumpyReviewer
@AK_Meier But sometimes the authors' take-home message is only partially supported by the evidence they present - in these cases it seems reasonable to ask for a bit of water in the wine.

Figures that cannot be understood do not contain any functional information. #grumpyreviewer
Reviewer1 Data and methods are of interest and the manuscript is timely.
Reviewer2 Maximum points for significance in the field.
Reviewer 3 THIS PAPER IS A DISASTER.

So, this figure has only panels C and D? No A or B? When you modify a previous figure for a grant proposal, please at least make it look like you made it for the proposal. #grumpyreviewer
If I have to expand your document to 270% to read your figure labels... #grumpyreviewer
Protip: when you claim in your manuscript that "X is the first discovered instance of Y", do a Google Scholar search first. Because as a reviewer, I can do that too. #GrumpyReviewer
The point of peer-review is to insure quality control and improve upon the manuscript/science. As a reviewer, I'm spending time making sure your manuscript is as good as possible, so don't half-ass address my concerns. Do the work.

This review I'm reviewing would make more sense if the authors had just taken all the titles of the papers they cite and strung them together. #grumpyreviewer
It's better to be boring but clear than 'interesting' but incomprehensible. #grumpyreviewer
In your CAREER education plan, do NOT say "K-12 outreach". Approaches for elementary school children are very different from those for middle schoolers and different from those for high schoolers. Pick one. #grumpyreviewer
Please do not use lower case Roman numerals or letters in an embedded list. #grumpyreviewer
Our paper linking vocal learning with fish schooling was called a "tangled skein of errors" before finally being published last year: https://t.co/Bpyc6HKel3. One criticism was an absence of fossil evidence of schooling. . . until now!

TFW last week you rewrote the Project Description to fit the 4,600 char/space NSF limit, and the PI sends the "final" version with his 5,340 char/space original. #grumpyreviewer
Do. Not. Just. Refer. Reviewers. To. A. Paper. For. Key. Aspects. Of. Your. Approach.
They have no obligation to go read anything outside the proposal, even if it was in $onewordnamedjournal. #grumpyreviewer
