Our special issue for the EER in memory of Nora blooms.

We have now thirteen published papers and I cherish how the authors span the entire range from superstars to young talents.

You can explore them here: www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...

Journals want AI input flagged. But no one is forced to flag help from colleagues or hidden labor in RA factories — restrictions on AI risk entrenching privilege instead of correcting it.

Such a clever mechanism for such a good cause!

If two people give 2 each, it is €4.

If 3,000 give 3,000 each, it is 9 million.

Let’s coordinate, here 👇

Today my paper with Nora and Lukas Wenner, ‚More effort with less pay’ got accepted - a dozen years after its inception - very emotional moment. I remember so vividly when we were plotting in Berlin.

Consider two editors, A and B, at the same journal, equally qualified for assessing your paper. A has a desk rejection rate of 50%, B of 25%. They use equal decision rules *after* obtaining reports and are equally fast. Which one do you choose? And why?
