Emails from predatory journals used to annoy me, now I take a moment to appreciate their words of praise, before swiftly hitting the delete and junk button #academicchatter #takewhatyoucan #research

I will never understand a reviewer who is condescending, or belittling… the review process is indeed meant to be a form of assessment, but also, academic debate…. What is there to be gained by degrading authors who might have worked months if not years on a piece of work? #academicchatter #academia

Got this today! Some backstory: the first journal I applied to with this article desk rejected it - it's now one of the most viewed articles in @geog-analysis.bsky.social published in 2023! Key to the academic publishing process is grit, this is your sign to just keep going... #academia #publishing

Charing Cross Road, pedestrianised today. Glorious. Because whenever you take cars away, cities get better.

I have to agree with this, a mean review reflects far more on the reviewer than the people being reviewed… Quite bluntly I may ask, why reproduce toxicity?
