You should have labeled your hypotheses H0, H0, H0.

Ahhh, but of course…. I don’t know how we managed to overlook that one.

Seminal work indeed!
I think a follow-up with the same subjects is required to see if the results can be repeated.

Thanks Rafe,
We will follow up annually until our l lavish goverment funding dries up

And of course, to maximize publishability, subsequent replications should be randomized control experiments. I’d suggest keeping the hipster(s) away from the good stuff.

Thanks Randy. There is hardly a journal more prestigous than PNIS (hard) – the one we already published in. Actually, we would have conducted a fully randomized experiment but we worried that if we did, there simply would not be a journal in existence prestigous enough to publish our paper. So we had constrain the experimental design somewhat for the paper to be publishable. I mean, whats the use of writing a paper that you cannot find a journal prestigous enough to publish. I have fallen in that trap more times than I care to remember

You’d probably get the famous Chinese rejection letter: http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=df4d1687-1590-4ebd-9298-5942496b8b57&p=1

I was going to gush over Lasse’s clever riposte, but to discover the Chinese Rejection qualifies the entire thread for Best of the Year. I am humbled to be in the (virtual) presence of Greatness.

Me too Randy! It is also gratifying to find out why so many of my papers have been rejected.
Re the author who immediately resubmitted rejected stories to another magazine, what about resubmitting to the same place? I seem to recall a scandal where journals (or a journal) were tested by resubmitting papers and as often as not they were accepted the second time around.
Actually I was going to quibble about some of the statistical analysis but it looks as though any improvement would only make the paper harder to publish, so don’t worry about it.
