Maybe I’m reviewer 2, but to make matters worse, I’ve also seen my critiques go completely ignored in the published manuscripts. If the authors aren’t expected to address any issues, then why bother sending them out for review?

[Albert Lai @laialbert]

The peer review system seems to be becoming even more broken than before. I got 4 article review requests this week. Last month, I had 5 requests all from 1 journal. This pace of requests really isn’t sustainable for reviewers.

[Albert Lai @laialbert]

I’m hearing from associate editors that everyone is simply turning down reviews and the review queues are getting longer. Submitting authors (or even teams of authors) really need to assume that they have to review at least 3 articles for every one they submit.

@DavidBaisley Nice!

New work from our @WashUi2db team: Study defines disparities in memory care https://t.co/QH8Y3S7efq

[WashU Informatics, Data Science and Biostatistics @WashUMedi2db]

Informatics PhD student Abigail Lewis and Albert Lai @laialbert authored a new study that uncovered inequities in dementia care. "Data contained in the EHR is a powerful tool for identifying and monitoring disparities." Read more: https://t.co/g1iO68FBKC

@insarkar Pre-TSA, I was selected for random screenings on nearly 100% of my flights. I haven’t had the problem since, but maybe it will come back based on your experience.
