Congrats, Harrison! Great job.
September is Pain Awareness Month. We’ll be highlighting content from #PAIN related to weekly themes—stay tuned as we share more throughout the month.
Deliberately adding a few unusual twists to my application cover letters. Just making sure a well-written document doesn't create suspicions of AI use. 🤓
Serious question: What’s the point of making the reference list part of the word / page limit?
Did you have a chance to catch @davidhosch.bsky.social, @neiloconnell.bsky.social, @jdwilko.bsky.social, @nadiasoliman.bsky.social, @lesleyuttley.bsky.social discuss “trustworthiness” in clinical trial data? Watch the recording here bit.ly/4luQVMS
The fact that even the most recent #CONSORT reporting guideline still uses grandad’s self designed MS Word flow diagram as official template is beyond me.
Happy box-juggling with anything that's not a 2-armed, single time point study! 🤡

…but means for editors that one inevitably ends up with manuscripts one barely understands- making finding reviewers even harder than normal. I try to pre-select carefully what I handle, but suspect this partially explains your observation of mixed quality.
Well observed! As one of their editors, I rarely use the automated reviewer suggestions as I found them not useful.
Still, methods are such a broad field and BMC MRM does not triage based on suspected impact - ie they also send out quite niche stuff for review. That’s great about the journal…
