💡Make your manuscript’s importance clear and don’t rush your response to tough reviews. In our October Editor Spotlight, Dr. Brandie Taylor shares her advice on multidisciplinary collaboration, impactful writing, and approaching reviewer comments with a fresh perspective. ✨

✨Quarterly Paper Shoutout✨ Every quantitative study should answer one question: What is your estimand? This article shows how to clarify causal estimands—and why doing so matters for actionable, equity-focused evidence. doi.org/10.1093/aje/...

A tough review can sting, but it can also sharpen the paper. This month’s Editor Spotlight, Penelope Howards, PhD, MS, shares a simple rule: step away for 24 hours ⏳, then return asking what the reviewer’s comment might reveal about the manuscript. 🔍 #PeerReview #Epidemiology #AJE

Focus on quality over quantity - and don’t be discouraged by rejection. ✍️📚 Meet our August Editor Spotlight, Chanelle Howe, PhD, MPH, MHS, and hear her advice on manuscript writing, responding to reviewer comments, and navigating rejection. 💡🔍

🔍 Let the research question drive the analysis, not the other way around. Meet our July Editor Spotlight, Laura Balzer, PhD, MPhil, and hear her advice on writing, peer review, and team science. 🌍📝 @berkeleyctml.bsky.social
