Peer review was built as a safeguard, but the system supporting reviewers hasn’t kept up.
This isn’t about researcher quality. It’s a structural gap affecting review quality.
What changes would make a difference?

Always enjoy visiting London to see family, but equally enjoy returning home to Derby. Writing while waiting for my bus. #amwriting #academiclife
Great hike on one of the many trails in @townofamherst.bsky.social this morning and now off for a latte at Amherst Coffee to fuel some exciting research. #academiclife
Yay! As an associate editor for #EPJC, I just rejected my first paper due to poor gen AI use.
The core work was honest and publishable, but the intro & state-of-the-art were botched, with hallucinated citations!

Some parts of the academic year feel like standing at the bottom of a mountain as an avalanche decides to tumble down. This is one of those times. Just about staying upright and taking it one task at a time. Luckily, I do love my job(s) #AcademicLife #Workload #BusySeason #MarkingCave
Seems it's a paper accepted and grant rejected day...
So, yay! 😀 And also, boo! ☹️ #academiclife

Not every day in a PhD is as productive as we expect - and that’s okay.
A page read, a few notes, opening your document again…these small steps matter more than we think. They keep us going.

It has been about learning how to prioritize, adapt, review, adjust, and keep going, even when things don't go as planned.
It's not easy, but it's part of the process.3/3

Doing a PhD is a commitment. In China, it demands discipline, long days, and relentless nights of research. Staying consistent, focused, and pushing boundaries every day. Currently working on my research paper.
