This week I have had a journal auto-reject my paper for "detection of AI use" when no AI was used and another submission site refusing to acceptt my uploaded files because every file had a "virus detected". Did I get black listed from scientific writing or something?

The term #estimand is now part of the technical language of trials - but it remains a concept that many find hard to understand. Recent work has aimed to make the term more accessible to researchers, patients & public 1/8
