@naz_andalibi Never thought of that! One thing tho, is that if a difficult name *does* get cited, it might be easier for people to recognize it due to distinctiveness (based on my own experience 😊). This unfairly impacts all the Li’s, Lee’s and Zheng’s of the world…

A reviewer should give the editor reasons to accept or reject the paper (ideally both). The editor likely doesn't read the paper, so the review should be *detailed*. Also, the reviewer should participate in the discussion! Esp. if they gave the paper a neutral/borderline score.

I review for a lot of conferences as PC/reviewer and SPC/editor, and it's surprising how few reviewers and editors actually understand the process.

[Bart Knijnenburg | BLM | LGBTQ+ | Yay Socialism @usabart]

An editor should *lead* the discussion, not just observe it. They should *not* simply ask the reviewers to read each others' reviews. *They* should read the reviews, draft the meta-review, then ask the reviewers to comment on it. I wrote a thread on this: https://t.co/55sFSFJffu

1/ Dear meta-reviewers (ACs, senior PCs) of conferences/journals with a discussion period: asking the reviewers to “please read each others’ reviews and come to an agreement” is not a great way to start the discussion. Its your job to provide a starting point! A thread 🧵:

Ok so who had “alien invasion during the Super Bowl” on their bingo card?

Aaaand here’s why my Twitter and Facebook feeds got a lot more palatable after I blocked every reactionary lib who put “je suis hebdo” in their tagline in 2015.

@blu3r4d0n It’s… taking the VTA Blue line to Baypoints transferring to the Orange line to Alum Rock?

@dennisvl1984 @MasterYogiKali @momofsaul Re: wit/blank: fair enough 😊 ik woon in de VS en denk/spreek vnl in het Engels waar dat onderscheid er niet is. Hier (South Carolina) is veel expliciet racisme; in Nederland is het meer onwetendheid. Verschillen herkennen en accepteren is een stap in de goede richting!

@dennisvl1984 @MasterYogiKali @momofsaul “Ik denk niet in huidskleuren” is (in mindere mate) ook probleem-ontwijkend/-negerend. Er zijn onder mensen met een donkere huidskleur verschillende opvattingen over het “terugclaimen” van het N-woord. Maar daar hoeven wij ons als blanke mensen niet in te moeien.

[Bart Knijnenburg | BLM | LGBTQ+ | Yay Socialism @usabart]

@dennisvl1984 @MasterYogiKali @momofsaul Het N-woord is emblematisch voor de systematische onderdrukking en uitbuiting die witte mensen hebben toegedaan aan mensen met een donkere huidskleur. Het laconieke gebruik van de term door witte mensen laat zien dat ze daar geen maatschappelijke verantwoordelijkheid voor voelen.

Waiting for the strongly-worded “this is not who we are” email from @ClemsonPrez. But I guess trustees don’t have to play by the “Clemson family” rules.

That’s your @ClemsonUniv trustee @NikkiHaley coming within an eyelash of saying Rev. Warnock should go back to Africa. https://t.co/cNTEOIz7n7

My PhD was stopped. I need a new project to work with. Is there anyone here interested in employing me?
