I hate it too. But I will say when this has happens to me, it's useful to get to the bottom of why. My thought is that the information in the reference list is really just a database. So, if its not functioning properly its worth figuring out why... because its supposed to follow logic.

It is so weird- who would have thought that replacing a large proportion of the tenured and tenure track faculty with contingent and precariously employed instructors would result in grade inflation. I, for one, am shocked.

Yes. But all these Christian nationalists tend to ignore the entire Old Testament, because it was “before he died for our sins”. The quotes from the OT are literally unrecognizable to them.

IMO, as a person who reviews manuscript submissions and their authors' responses), can we dispense with the formal niceties in response comments? I don't need to be thanked for every comment I make. Its tedious. I am re-reviewing a 32 page submission. And the response document is 16 pages. 😠

Also probably fields that are moving towards community based partners. Sometimes those papers will consider anyone contributing to the research (as a community based board member for example) a coauthor. Hence the large study teams.

Jessica Bishop-Royse, PhD @jbishoproyse.bsky.social · 11/05/2026
My guess is that this is probably being driven by interdisciplinary research- where norms of smaller research teams encounter those of fields where larger teams are not uncommon.

Over the course of a career, there are unnumerable decisions made- major in this or that, this school or that. It’s remarkable to me that we have no idea which ones become the consequential ones.

In his previous career as a goalkeeper, failure felt clear. Thinking that his sport taught him how to handle failure during his PhD, Javier Nion Fieira found his experiences in elite sport were easier to analyse and process than those in the lab: spklr.io/63325EKlXR #PhDSky #AcademicSky

You forgot that Academia runs on exploitation. Also- seems like a 9,000 word response might be better as its own submission. At least get a publication out of it. And not force reviewers to read another manuscript length piece of work while they’re trying to evaluate your original work.

Yes. But not mentioned is the declining share of tenured and tenure track professors doing this work. The adjunctification in higher ed means there are fewer people who can be incentivized to do this work, because when you’re an adjunct no one cares if you can do research. slate.com/technology/2...
