giacometti appreciation life

So I guess it’s kinda half-canon that NHS can, in fact, fight with his fan?

…I really prefer to headcanon him as not really a fighter tho >_<

If you get a reject on reports like this: APPEAL.

A lot of academics are afraid to appeal or think that a rebuttal will just get sent back to the same reviewers, but any publisher worth their salt would send this to an advisory board member to adjudicate. It's shit that it needs to be done, because it creates work for authors AND editors and it slows everything down, but it is worth doing if you have a case! Do not let lazy fucks win and ruin your chances!

Do NOT be afraid to say:

- This comment is beyond the scope of the work presented, this work focuses on [x,y,z]

- These additional experiments are not relevant because [insert reason]

- I disagree with this point because [reason]

It's impossible for editors to be exact experts in every manuscript they handle, so rely on reviewers and authors. If there is a fundamental disagreement between author and reviewer, a good publishing house will ensure it is policy that board members are consulted for their expertise (this is what they are for!).

Peer review is a million miles from a perfect system, but good publishers do actually care about trying their best for authors and scientific integrity. I'm not going to pretend that there aren't a lot of dodgy publishing houses out there because there absolutely are, but it's worth pushing back if you get a bullshit report, because a good one WILL get an adjudicator.

Oh - and publishers do blacklist bad reviewers. They just need to know who the bad reviewers are.

Part of the aurë entuluva series

Thunder rumbles again, far closer this time. A wolf howls on the wind. Something strange sits at the back of Amras' mind, even as he parries another blow and drives his sword into an orc's stomach. A wolf? There's no wolves in these parts. Another howl, far closer this time, and then another, a chorus of noise- His blood runs with something that he dare not call hope.
