Then don’t review it. I spend months or years writing papers. A voluntary reviewer who won’t bother reading is not helpful.

- bowsamic 4y agoBut then the journal may flag me as being unreliable. No thanks... I think I will just put in the shitty review
- tokai 4y agoBut you are unreliable. Selfish people like you makes the world a worse place.
- bowsamic 4y agoSorry but my career is an astronomically higher priority than any ideology of good peer review practises, and also an astronomically higher priority than "making the world a better place"
- tokai 4y agoOh now I remember your post about your depressing post doc. Why do you care about getting marked as an unreliable reviewer if you are not staying in academia after the post doc? If its for your cv you can just write reviewer for what ever journal you want. Nobody is gonna check it.
- heisenbit 4y agoIn Germany recently a medical specialist was jailed for 7.5 years for delivering wrong all clear results when reviewing skin cancer samples. He was aware he was not mentally healthy and was mot able to do his job. Please get help instead of playing pretend and barreling through. People will get hurt by wrong expert statements. You fear for career while at the same time putting the career of another at risk. People get respect for saying ‚no‘.
