Why do journals do this Veeky Forums?

>why do journals do this?

Professors, institutes, journals, etc everyone does this.

Why aren’t we making this as an official professional tactic yet?

mathematics?

Yes

in life sciences, you get a rejection within one or two weeks, and a full review with all suggestions for acceptance after four weeks

That sounds like heaven desu

Goddammit Veeky Forums, I said t b h.

Why would you sah t b h when desu is more stylish? Japanese is cooler too.

OP, no one wants to do their job until they absolutely have to. They didn't have to give you the comments until you called and forced them to do it.

Not gonna lie, for everything except math I'm like this too. You too. My girlfriend has to shout at me just for me to pick up my clothes from the floor.

Ironically I had a similar incident today:

I think the universe is trying to tell me something. Squeaky wheel gets the grease, I suppose.

You couldn't just go and reset the breaker yourself?

Unfortunately not. No access to it.

Even if I did, our university (admin, not faculty) is literally retarded and would probably suspend me or something.

>Why
There have been cases where the peer reviewers have temporized to do the experiments themselves. That is not allowed as it is an abuse of trust but it does happen in the more cutthroat fields.

>stylish
>Japanese is cooler
Japanese is the orcish of languages.

wow

Why did you wait for months to ask if there was an update? You think you would get rejected for asking for an update after even a single month?

You're probably just as lazy as the person you are trying to shame.

Who the fuck asks for review updates after 1 month? What are you, a biologist?

>the orcish of languages
but that's literally turkish

t. urk

the four weeks is for small, ambitious journals with short articles. long articles in mid size to big journals can take much longer, even in life sciences.
