As an editor, I don’t know what to do when an author asserts that they didn’t use AI in the preparation of their manuscript but all my experience suggest they did. I don’t care that they used it, its allowed, but the fact that I think they lied makes me really uncomfortable...

As an editor, let me say my strong preference is that if you have good work that fits in my journal's scope, PLEASE keep submitting it over the holidays. We'll get it to it and hopefully give it a good home!
Alright everybody time to dust off that classic science twitter battleaxe, "NEVER submit papers over the holidays" vs "DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO"
Friendly holiday reminder that people rush to submit before the holidays and declined reviews get even worse than usual. And editors want to enjoy holiday time, too. Patience and grace to all (and to all a good night)!

Gather around, one last bit of research to announce before the year ends! This is one that has been incubating for awhile, but the methods have finally caught up with my theorizing!

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Intro stats courses need to provide lots of tangible examples of effect sizes. I remember reviewing a paper about the effect of Tylenol on social exchanges once. It had an ES of d~1. So, as strong as effect of opioids on cancer pain. Just, no way. If it was true we’d need warning labels.

I maintain that this is an excellent benchmark for d-type effect sizes:
Sleep satisfaction & duration declined with childbirth & reached a nadir during the first 3 months postpartum, with women more strongly affected (satisfaction d = -0.79, duration minus 62 min, d = -0.90)>
Sleep satisfaction & duration declined with childbirth & reached a nadir during the first 3 months postpartum, with women more strongly affected (satisfaction d = -0.79, duration minus 62 min, d = -0.90)>

Of all the AI trainings my employer should offer, and they offer a lot, is one teaching faculty how to edit their emails so they aren’t obviously just chat GPT generated.

The most regrettable aspect of editing a journal is that desk rejections are by far the most common decision I send out
Sometimes authors reply. Often these are positive, disappointed but grateful for the feedback
Sometimes they are not. And, often it is best to let the author have the last word

The other thing I will add to the journo salary discourse is orgs will exploit that many journos did not go into journalism to become rich & are drawn to the work bc they want to help improve society. Not unique to this field but my sense was my b school friends treated differently in salary talks.

If a reviewer is asking about power in a sample size of 22,000, then I think you should just be able to point that absurdity out to the editor and not have to address any more of their feedback.
I'd honor that as an editor, TBH.
