Peer review, wrapped (again). www.turnbulldugarte.com/peer-review/... It is not (yet) taking me any longer to get a manuscript decision, on average. It is, on average, becoming harder for me to get an R+R probably due to a new record rejection N for one paper.

Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte@turnbulldugarte.com · 9mo ago

Yes, rejection is still my modal outcome in the peer review process (56% of submissions) But here you can see how many times I've been desk rejected, from where, how long they took, and how many attempts it took to cross the R&R threshold

Usually it’s not sexy to get null results. In this case we think it is👇

With @aleferna.bsky.social we use an UESD to see if there are any (very early) signs that Sánchez's political gamble looks it has moved the dial. We can learn a lot from some UESDs. In this one, what we learn a little and that is that not much has changed.

Inheritance taxation is unpopular, even amongst people who are unlikely to ever have to pay it. Why? In four different studies - experiment! panels! behaviour! - @cvalebeek.bsky.social and I show political trust is a strong predictor for support for the tax. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Three years ago VOX underperformed compared to their 2019 ceiling. We won't see this in Nov - they will pass 2019 this time. I would wager we also won't see the below-avg. turnout we saw in 2023. Election during mass protest seems pretty inductive for high turnout blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...
