Single-blind #PeerReview strikes again. Reviewer revealing himself to the coauthors of a paper 1 week after submission threatening to reject it, unless he becomes a coauthor.
Now they are negotiating a deal to avoid having to redo everything.
Wondering also, why a method-focussed paper (new approach) submitted to a journal dedicated to molecular #phylogeny is reviewed by somebody who knows the organism but has very little experience in (phylo)genetics
Have to love single blind.

So much for strict #OpenData policies. Paper published in 2021 in New Phytologist, data matrix: "... is accessible to readers in #Morphobank, project # 3917. We have enabled anonymous login."
https://www.morphobank.org/myprojects/3917/overview
Anonymous login works (first pic), "Project disc usage: 0 bytes". Which happens to be exactly the number of linked matrices under the project (2nd pic)
Deleted the data after review? Avoid anyone else can (mis)use it.

For a change, a proper #milestone. 1000 reads on RG for the #Reticulate origin of modern plane trees (#Platanus, Platanaceae): A nuclear marker puzzle

It's profoundly comforting to see that one's work is still raising interest after more than a decade, especially, something that at the time of publication was harshly attacked by "expert #reviewers" –anonymously of course (#FightTheFog). And ignored by the botanical High Priests beyond the Big Pond 😎😎😎

Pretty content with myself, today.
I used the one-way street called "single-blind peer review" in the wrong direction and reviewed the reviews in a (prob. pointless) letter to the editor.
You struggle hard to keep to the word-limit of the journal, just to get blamed for having a too short Materials and Results, "concealing" the many weaknesses of one's work. And nobody minds the 30p long Suppl. M&M and 113p long Suppl. R&D

Rigorous #PeerReview @ PLoS ONE: reject a paper because the editor cannot manage to get (any) reviews in time.
Related #FunFact: as long as reviews are quick, a paper's and the reviewer's reports quality doesn't matter so much. And not only in PLoS ONE.

#FightTheFog-Update to https://ecoevo.social/@grimmiges/110101595898174133
Interesting leap in faith: The same clique of authors putting out a preprint claiming all modern-day Fagales genera are younger than 25-20 Ma pop up in the author list of a study just submitted to a high-tier #phylogeny journal indulging in how only the Fagaceae bunch hybridised already in the Eocene (>40 Ma).
Using the fossil record again, but this time without any palaeobotanist in the author list.

Couldn't help a quick #CommentTo Klak et al. (2020; https://doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.459.2.5) regarding the notion of "confirm[ing] some previously published facts, e.g. that D. zygophylloides is sister to Drosanthemum", which we identified as likely ingroup-outgroup long-branching artefact.
Previously published facts a.k.a. branching artefacts

I pondered organisation, so my followers can make the best of Mastodon's filter option (settings -> filters).
I'll hash my posts as follows
#NewPosts—for new #blogposts on Res.I.P. and others I follow.
#OldPosts—for historical ones
#PhyloNetworks—anything #phylogenetics-ish beyond mere tree-inference
#FightTheFog—anything shrouding science (like confidential #PeerReview)
#CommentTo—post-reviews
#NotScience—for the irrelevant rest
