Reviewer 2 Must Be Stopped! on Facebook Nate Joseph 4d Me submits to "top tier" journal in my field. Editorial desk: sends back. "Please include a title". Me looks. The title is there. Puts in giant bold font: TITLE: "my title". Resubmits. Editorial desk: sends back, please add title to manuscript. Me: emails editorial. "I am confused my manuscript has a title." Editorial board emails back. "Please add title". What da hell! Update: The editorial board admitted this was a mistake and has passed on the paper for review. Updated again: The paper was rejected by editorial for undisclosed reasons.
