Alpha scientist on an SUV: just push it out

Economics: How much are you willing to pay?

Smarter you in a few years ;)

I’m with you on that. My comment was more like sometimes the appendices seem to get out of hand. They probably contain entire papers there.

No need to rush to conclusions, I do read appendices when needed. My point is not that authors should cut the appendices or compromise on any other good open science practices. The point is that disproportionately large appendices make one wonder if some of that stuff actually belongs in the main text. If it is just a robustness check that gives a similar result, fine, make a footnote in the main text and put the analysis in the appendix. But what if it is actually relevant information that changes the perception of the main text?

I had the exact same impression. Excellent ideas but need more fleshing out

Pretty sure that’s referee 2

I just recently read the first Expanse (Leviathan Awakens) and am reading Hyperion. Depends on what you are in a mood for. Expanse is more action-packed and easier to follow. Hyperion is higher up there, takes time to digest.

Not as high as reading Annihilation

Thanks for a detailed response. Just started reading the Fall of Hyperion

I know what you’re saying. The New Moon (Luna) was like that for me. Did not finish

Thanks for the warning

Me too, let’s see who finishes first lol)

it was definitely hard to get into it, what with all the world-building and weird terms. but it is enjoyable after you get over the hump

may I ask why? it didn’t meet your expectations?

there definitely were slow moments. I think Lamia’s tale was the most action-packed of all

ok, I might give the second book a try. I can’t imagine the first two books being one gigantic book. The first one was already pretty long

Ok, I might give it a try.

Yeah, I got that and I liked the different tones and variety of each individual tale. I guess I liked some tales more than others, but regardless I enjoyed the creativity of each individual tale

No just Hyperion
