arxiv.org/abs/2411.00008 !!! Submitted on 17 Oct 2024 !!! "Growth of #Science and Women: #Methodological Challenges of Using #Structured Big Data". #Minerva, what a mistake & #waste of my time! 7 months, not a single first review? For my paper #preselected year ago for a

Marek Kwiek / Social Stratification in Science Agree it is v annoying to get no review 7 months after submission. We know too well journals' difficulties in getting good peer reviews. But the start of the solution is surely to manage journals & their editorship efficiently, not to coast along with this sort of sloppiness.

Barbara S. Lancho Barrantes Marek Kwiek / Social Stratification in Science I suspect the journal editors intend to tell authors when then can't find reviewers. But one of the problems is that they think >7 months is an acceptable time to wait.

Marek Kwiek / Social Stratification in Science Marianne Noel What’s the point of exhibiting journal stats if cases like yours are not the exception?

Exactly! I am a 'leading scholar, Stanford list 2%, MAE etc. Now think of co-author Lukasz Szymula, 28. For him, 2 years... Look at #Minerva Scopus journal percentile ranks. A fall. My young collaborators would never go below 95th percentile. #Minerva is 80, substandard.

Look, #Minerva as you show below, provides IF. But does not show, much more useful and fair in any comparion, its 80th #Scopus journal #percentile rank. Top journals today are in the 95-99 perentile range... The upper 5% max, never the upper... 20%. Cristal clear to me why.

Yep! The Old generation... just #non-acceptable. You know, to say I am furious is to say nothing.

Yep!

By Luke Drury, excellent! The history of the preprint, its advantages and potential disadvantages, and some recommendations for how the growing acceptance of preprint posting should be handled within academia. The normalization of preprints council.science/publications/n…

100% agreement. Would never express the idea better!

Marek Kwiek / Social Stratification in Science Sorry to hear this!

Basically, there is no point! Agreed! Therefore I felt it was #unfair, #Minerva journal. Hence the whole 1- day long #manuscript #witdrawal decision and sending the ms. somewhere else. Nothing #personal, I do not even know anyone there. No #hard feelings. Still, a lesson.

So, a bit of promo out of this #Minerva journal story. The ms. sits happily on #preprint server arxiv. Wow, our Europe vs. the USA comparative #visualizations in Business Intelligence #Tableau incredible! I hope we will have it in Nature' s HSSC faster (top 1% of journals).
