Which may have been stupid, in retrospect, at yet served its purposes well enough at the time. . .Of course, it's very like that I am a supremely stupid person, and definitely not one from whom to take relationship advice, so. . .<BR/>And Wales is lovely.life_of_a_foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05427532203981697246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-53685315015652754352007-07-25T15:09:00.000-04:002007-07-25T15:09:00.000-04:00I, too, returned to crazy loads of work on my retu...I, too, returned to crazy loads of work on my return from 3 weeks of dilly-dallying. It's hard, but at least you'll have Wales to daydream about.<BR/><BR/>I'm halfway through revisions of this article I've been working on all summer, and what I am doing? Blog surfing! Hope you have better luck than I do!Horacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662740021328265642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-37037248333363360152007-07-25T14:17:00.000-04:002007-07-25T14:17:00.000-04:00Welcome back.

I've found the "you should write the paper I would have written" critique to be depressingly common in peer review situations. I wonder why that is. Are people protecting turf (especially in the realm of theory)? Maybe the process presumes too much about what researchers and writers who work in the same general areas have in common. When I am on the other side, I try very hard to ask myself what a person is trying to do and then ask a) whether it's worth doing and b) how well they've done it. Assuming that point a) checks out, I try to evaluate others' work as much as possible on its own terms, and not in terms of what I would have done with the same topic. There is always room to suggest new references or to point out gaps and silences, but, even then, I think that those can be kept relevant to what a paper is and not what it might have been if the author had only decided to write about something else entirely.Shaun Hustonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374693213232236154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-42121191518635732682007-07-25T12:06:00.000-04:002007-07-25T12:06:00.000-04:00Hi Crazy --Same thing here, and I don't even have ...Hi Crazy --<BR/><BR/>Same thing here, and I don't even have Wales for an excuse. I do have a number of other excuses, but they all add up to the same thing: very little work accomplished.<BR/><BR/>I have the next week to frantically finish revisions on an article (like yours, semi-substantive), before I dive into two weeks of pre-moving angst.<BR/><BR/>Crap.<BR/><BR/>But hey! Wales sure is pretty.Notorious Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08700875559325201086noreply@blogger.com
