Genuinely heartbroken at the news #DollyParton has passed. Growing up in central Qld I grew up listening to her music, but it was only later in life that I fully appreciated her as a human being. Her support of the #LGBT community & #COVID vaccines…

Dear academic journal editors: I get it. You’re under pressure. But sending a review request at 6.31pm on a Friday evening & then cancelling the review invitation at 3.21am on Monday morning as you have “not received a response” is not reasonable behaviour. Re-evaluate your approach. That is all.
