Ahhhh. You can do it! And both audiences will appreciate it i’m sure. Read something recently that cited you too 😊

Dr. Heather Dichter @hdichter.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Do the themes work for different audiences/journals so that it doesn’t feel quite so much like cheating? Or - how long would one article be keeping them both in? As a journal editor, I’d welcome any Q’s from a potential submitting author to help them with these kinds of Q’s

Taylor & Francis requires reviewers check a box saying they haven’t used AI but it’s at the end, in the submission. We’re in the process of revising our reviewer email & guidance so people see up front that is not allowed.

In the Second World War, women were active and effective SOE agents. But are they mainly remembered today through their glamour and tragedy? In our latest New Voices blog, Danielle Wirsansky offers a more nuanced picture, dissecting why the phrase 'lady spy' is so limiting. ⬇️ tinyurl.com/5dfnyjz3

We had one set of authors submit their manuscript 4x - each time with a slighlty modified title & a different email address for the corresponding author so the JEO wouldn’t catch it. My 4th reject email was finally harsh. And it wasn’t even appropriate for our journal/field!!
