Austin Buchanan @austinlbuchanan.bsky.social · 18/08/2026As an author, I feel like it depends. Some papers warrant a conclusion, some warrant a conclusion and future work, and some need neither. But the trouble is that there’s always that pesky reviewer with different tastes 😵💫 330
Ryan Cory-Wright @ryancorywright.bsky.social · 19/08/2026To me this brings up a bigger point: we are trained to respond to reviewers by agreeing with them even if it makes the paper worse, and incorporating the union of all comments. It should be more acceptable to tell reviewers no if their suggestion makes the paper worse. 030
