An ed psych journal is refusing to publish our manuscript unless we "neutralize" "political" content. This is after the manuscript was peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. DM me for details! I'm devastated. Two years of work and revisions with four junior co-authors cast aside that easily.

Some people’s research will be flagged and then will move on with clarification. Other people’s research will be flagged and… it’s done. The differences in who those people are will not be random.

Hattan et al. (2023) systematically reviewed the literature on prior knowledge and reading, and found promising results but also a need for more specificity.
