I have a paper under review at a top 10 journal. the status is "all reviews are in" since three weeks now. in two weeks I'll have a job talk and having a R&R would be hepful for that. would you ask the editor about the status of the paper with that argument or do you think it decreases chances of a positive response?

Hi,

For last 10 days the status for taylor and francis journal is stuck at "manuscript submitted". Does it mean even the admin staff at editor hasn't checked for formatting etc

FRL now has a much higher impact factor (1.085) than EL (0.581). But, most people would probably classify EL as a stronger journal. Is it simply because it has been around longer?

Economist on "How is Mathematical Finance (Journal)?"

I am doing a Math PhD, but have a strong econ background and my work is mostly on Finance-related topics like systemic risk. My goal is a job in a Business School or one of those interdisciplinary Quant. Finance places (Econ department is out of reach for me), in that order. Fallback would be policy. I have a paper to submit now and am weighing my options: my supervisor would slightly prefer me to go for a journal closer to Math, an economist friend who read the paper said I should go for an econ journal. I thought Mathematical Finance could be a compromise, what is the view from the econ and finance bros? And how are Math or Econophysics journals viewed generally (whether I get in is a different story). If that's relevant, I already have one Econophysics publication (in a journal that's sometimes ranked like B or so in Finance rankings).


Economist on "1.5 years into coediting AEJ: Applied,"

1.5 years into coediting AEJ: Applied, here is a public audit on my job performance and then some thoughts on being an editor 1/

Since January 2018, I have handled 272 manuscripts at AEJ: Applied from start to finish. My acceptance rate in that time is around 4 percent. 74 percent of papers received a decision in less than 30 days. These are almost all desk rejections 2/x

I have let only 8 papers go beyond 90 days, and zero beyond 120. I’m proud of that record! However I think I have been slowing down a little. It is pretty hard to keep up with the flow of traffic and still get everything else done. I am definitely not going to get faster 3/x

Three surprises. First, I have handled papers on a very broad range of topics beyond my own expertise of education and labor. It’s been fun and challenging to learn new literatures. Naturally I desk reject less often in fields I don’t know as well 4/x

2nd - I was not prepared for how high the bar is at AEJ: Applied. Our space constraint and the quality of submissions means I am rejecting some truly excellent papers. 5/x

To put it in context, our impact factor is currently 6th among econ journals, after only QJE, JPE, Ecma, AEJ:Macro, and JEL (link: https://ideas.repec.org/top/top.journals.rdiscount.html) ideas.repec.org/top/top.journa… 6/x

3rd - I don't think refs have fully internalized our standard. Coming in, I thought refs would be too harsh. Actually they are too lenient relative to our bar. 7/x

If I took every paper that had all positive refs, I’d be way over my queue. Sometimes I have to reject them anyway, and that really sucks 8/

Favorite part of the job – taking great papers and trying to make them even better. My plan – if I can make time – is to tweet out summaries of the papers I handled when they publish (like ProPelled today) 9/x

Least favorite part of the job – rejecting great papers, especially from junior faculty who are trying make their way in this brutal profession. I take no pleasure in it. 10/x

For better or worse, I try to be clear and decisive. I will definitely get it wrong sometimes. But I can give authors timely and clear feedback to smooth the publication process. I do enjoy the job, but I will probably also enjoy the time back when my term ends :) 11/11

Say you have a unique dataset that you can use to produce more than one papers. You published a paper with it, but a few years later you discover another research idea and use the same data and method to study it. It seems unavoidable that the data and method descriptions will be highly similar. Will this count as self-plariarism?

Have had 2 issues with this now with co-authors who have English as their second language who copy and paste sentences from other papers and for some odd reason have to be explained to that this is wrong.

I worry that I have missed things that were plagiarized and not sure if I cut everything they wrote and start over.

Anyone ever had a similar issue?

You can tell by the way they force their names into projects done by their students and collaborators. In their blind pursuit to gain yet more fame by publishing yet another top 3, they end up behaving in a way that ultimately makes them look like six year olds. Here is a suggestion to any senior academic from a junior one: only put your name in a paper you have contributed to. It’s that simple really.

seems strange that the submissions status changes from in review'' and under review'' simultaneously after submission, and after a few days, the status becomes assigning for review.''

Please do not use simple impact factors to rank journals. You should use Repec’s 10-year discounted recursive factors. Anyone who really understands the simple impact factor measure can attest to the superiority of the Repec factor.
