Before COVID that figure was more like 6-8.
People need to slow down, submit less crap, contribute to peer review. If you don’t there should be stigma and censure. The system is broken but so are the hard-working volunteers who are papering over its cracks.

Just attended an editorial board meeting today where we discussed about our responsibilities towards the field in terms of assuring quality through mentoring/education and supporting under-represented groups to publish...
Logged in to ScholarOne for the journal I co-edit and jfc we had as many submissions in 2 weeks as we used to receive in 6 months 😱 Just so you understand why journal desk rejects these days give no feedback - we just can't at this wild volume. Is it the same for other journals and editors?

The CEO said the following at the ACSD event in Canberra (paraphrasing):
New schemes are with the minister to be progressed to completion hence they cannot promise a timeline. ARC expects a transition period of up to 3 years. Current Schemes will likely be phased out gradually?!.

The illusion of reasoning does not need any further empirical investigation. If you are interested in what happens when people are exposed to LLMs positioned as agents, then the study needs to look at what happens when people are exposed to LLMs positioned as agents.
