Screenshot from the April 27, 2011 Nature World View article by Hidde Ploegh titled "End the wasteful tyranny of reviewer experiments." The authors of this post have added to the title, making it "End the wasteful tyranny of reviewer animal experiments." The article has been accessed 18,000 times, cited 41 times, and has an altmetric score of 488. The subtitle reads: "Peer review of scientific papers in top journals is bogged down by unnecessary demands for extra lab work, argues Hidde Ploegh."

Has a reviewer ever suggested you perform an extra experiment? 🧪

We’re guessing most of you will say yes.

In 2011, Hidde Ploegh dubbed these suggestions “reviewer experiments” and boldly called for an end to their “wasteful tyranny.”

Here are my tips for editing -post has more details
1. Give it a little time. Increases your objectivity
2. Rip out the bones. Looking at the structure from a high level is informative
3. Role play. Pretend you are #Reviewer3
4. Kill your darlings. Ditch the dewy-eyed love for your own ideas

also to set the record straight #Reviewer3 - yes a "timecourse" is a real word. We do them all the time of course.

Has anyone had a sneaking suspicion that a #review of your manuscript was done using #ChatGPT? Are #journals checking for this? Are we OK with this? Our latest 'Reviewer 2' said a lot, but much of it was meaningless or obvious in a #LLM kinda way! 🤔

2nd round article review:

#reviewer1 this is brilliant. Accept!
#reviewer2 thank you, this is so important! Maybe 1 tiny amendment.
#reviewer3 this is great, BUT: 34 pedantic stylistic changes, argue finding, tangent, insert personal bias, malicious ignorance #phdlife #phdchat

#reviewer3 Jr. is on point https://twitter.com/svmahler/status/987757466300514304
