If the information content of Rev 1 and 2 is really weak, then by all means invite 2 others. But most of the time, reviewers will agree on the critical stuff that directly bears on whether a manuscript should be published.

Or, you know, make a list of people to invite and work your way down that list till you have enough yesses.

Also, fellow action editors, while I have your attention:
You don't need to hedge against people saying no by inviting 4+ reviewers all at once. Most invite systems allow you to designate alternate reviewers if your first invites are declined.

As an action editor: the number of invites I have to send out to get even two people to say yes is at least 5 or 6. How many would have said yes if they weren't already burnt out from being Rev 3 or 4 on a bunch of other papers?

Proposal: two peer reviews of a manuscript is almost always enough.
As reviewer: I'm sick of reluctantly agreeing to review a paper only to find out later I'm one of FOUR reviewers. This is a massive waste of resources at a time when it gets harder and harder to get people to agree to review.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Remember how the same writers ranked Cleveland dead last at the start of the season, and yet they went on to win a pennant and went 7 games into the WS against the Dodgers?
Me neither.
Me neither.

'Tis the season of flooded inboxes & time to reamplify this brilliant tip from @hannahrsnyder.bsky.social.
As semesters start and you find yourself repeatedly answering emails with the same questions from students, this is my annual reminder that you can make all your frequent responses email signatures and just select them from your signature list to respond. You're welcome. #academicsky

I don't understand why Garfield hates Mondays. To the best of my reckoning he has never been held accountable for anything, on any day of the week.

Do American researchers have to explain why they only recruited American participants or is that special feedback that editors/reviewers reserve for Canadian researchers? Also, I'm getting pretty sick of having to explain why it's good to have data specific to my own country.
