Manuscript rejected after 3 months because the journal couldn’t find ONE single reviewer. I hear this is an increasingly common issue across journals.

Academics, if we’re not supporting each other to move our fields forward, what are we even doing?

If you spend a lot of time copying text from PDFs into Word like me, I hope this tip might be useful! If the PDF ends up broken up over lots of lines, there's no need to fix it manually. Just go to find and replace, type ^p into find, and one space into replace. Pics below :)

How to revise:

As an editor and author I have seen many revised papers return to journals. Given effort, most go well (ie step toward acceptance). Some go pear-shaped. I’ve slowly improved and have an approach known by my group as the ‘Breakspear method”. Here is its essence

[Maarten van Smeden @MaartenvSmeden]

absence of evidence ≠ evidence of absence
measurement error ≠ bias towards null
clinical trial ≠ study with patients
multivariate ≠ multivariable
95%CI ≠ 95% probability
p-value ≠ probability H0
correlation ≠ causation
significant ≠ relevant
bias ≠ error
odds ≠ risk

My modal comment as a referee: Delete pages 1-12 & get on with telling us what your research is about already. (I.e., people you're citing already have their own papers. Include them only if they help you make your point. If you just want to be nice, send flowers.)
