Herr Professor has his latest manuscript reviews back, and he's not thrilled with the editorial decision.

Great piece however the text doesn't stay long enough to read without pausing. I suggest you do a few more experiments to determine the optimal length of time the text stays up. Following that work, resubmit to YouTube.

This video is considered for publication after some major modifications:

1) The text should stay longer.

2) Some additional experiments (i.e. an according audio composition) would be very helpful. In this case the text issue can be disregarded.

3) The figures should be supported in a higher resolution ;-)

Kind regards,

I think I read this paper "The health effects of hydrogen cyanide in an enclosed environment (1943)" I found the quality of the evidence quite compelling. If the reviewers believe the sample size was too small, there are some excellent candidates I can recommend.

Showed this to psychology teacher when did peer review for research methods. One way to get the message across to students is angry Hitler.

3:06 "....I guess I Could always appeal to the editor directly"

No! You can't! Editors are heartless! Find below what an editor has to say regarding just a covering letter to him.

"........ And please, do not mention that the career of the first author absolutely depends upon acceptance of this manuscript, or that her husband is unaware that she is carrying your baby. An Editor has no heart. " :-)

Brilliant! I wish there were more groundbreaking videos of this type on YouTube. This effort is not only rigorously done and highly relevant to the field, it advances the science and encourages all of us in the field to question our assumptions about video production, YouTube, the Third Reich, and the three women in the hallway. I highly recommend expedited publication and I congratulate the author on this paradigm-shifting work!
