Why has peer-review become so weird?
Over the past 12 years, I've been serving as a reviewer for several academic journals, including the top two you all know. What I see is a visible decline in both the quality of the papers and the quality of the reviews.
Here's my top 7 advice:
1. Many authors keep their methodology sections too thin and expect the reviewers to search for the method and data descriptions within the body of the text. Don't do that. You want to put all your research flaws and limitations in the method section, and explain them in detail.
2. Some reviewers see peer-review as a way to promote their own work. It's not ok to insist that the authors cite several of your articles!
3. Some reviewers enjoy humiliating the authors. When you see an article that requires a lot of work, the chances are it was written by a Ph.D. student. If you see stylistic oddities, the article has likely been submitted by someone for whom English is a second language. No one is born knowing how to write academic texts, and peer-review is the way for you to teach them.
4. Confusing the genres is a huge issue for many authors. An essay is a well-established form, yet one simply can't pass an essay for the research article.
5. Make your article accessible for the readers from different research fields. Out of 5 reviewers, 1 or 2 come from an adjacent field. Every concept you use should be unpacked as if you were explaining your work to a taxi driver.
6. Some authors intentionally make their articles unreadable by adding the layers of academic terms and repeating the main argument several times. The reviewers see this, folks. You don't need to sound complicated to be seen as academic. Following scientific method is what makes you an academic. In fact, the reviewers will thank you if they don't have to decipher your writing.
7. For the young academics: don't be scared to submit your work to the best journals in your field! It's a learning experience and you may see your work published sooner than you expect.

@jcminbo2 @paconadal No en Estambul. Hice una escala en el aeropuerto este febrero y solo pedimos 2 milkshake y una porción de nuggets. Cerca de 29 euros 😑
@paconadal Es difícil superar el esplendor de Angkor al amanecer, pero disfruté mucho la visita a Bagan, arrendé una bici eléctrica y exploré a mi ritmo todos los templos que pude y la gente en Birmania fue muy amable en todas partes
