I think they want to use this to show diversity in submissions. Interesting that this very effort can result in bias.

Good thinking, FTC! Hope this rule is adopted. Automatic Renewals should be banned, alongside. And, free gifts to adopt automatic renewal of subscriptions should absolutely be banned — the free gifts show just how lucrative the automatic renewals are.

My brilliant, kind, confident, lovely student Tatiana Tatiana Sokolova is now tenured at Tilburg. Her work on selection through rejection and on numerosity makes the reader pause and deliberate in new ways. Tatiana is one the clearest thinkers I know. What’s next, Tatiana? Congrats.

Can’t agree more. This will also encourage people to present working papers in conferences. Right now, people are extremely worried about doing that — for fear of being scooped.

Decline because you have reviewed this for another journal and the authors should get a different opinion.

This is indeed a very insightful result, Quentin André and Gabriele Paolacci

Why do so many subscriptions/apps have automatic renewals? I mean why should a firm count on people’s unintentional forgetfulness to increase profits? If it’s common practice, is it no longer devious?

The work that won today's Nobel in medicine (and saved millions of lives) "was summarily rejected by the journals Nature and Science". Keep trying. Journals are often resistant to new ideas.

I love this line that Claudia Goldin gave to the NYT: “We’re never going to have gender equality until we also have couple equity”.

I had the most rewarding teaching experience yesterday— my MBAs surprised me with a thank you card. This is a first. I wonder if students know how much these little things mean for us profs.

When a reviewer drops out after 1 round, the journal can proceed with 2 reviewers or add a third. 2 can be in disagreement but we have an AE. This is a nudge to journals to stay with 2 reviewers. It’s more fair. Why add new objections after round 2?Journal of Consumer Research Journal of Marketing International Journal of Research in Marketing
