Last year my first article was peer-reviewed AND accepted (way cool). That one was based on someone elses idea, but i wrote the software and the article. Now I'm kinda nervous cuz the new article is on less firm ground then the first (and it is also my own idea).
Keep the fingers crossed peeps ! I'll update any ?progress?

Update
I received some comments from the reviewers. Most of the stuff is easily corrected, only one reviewer asked for the application we used to analyse our data. Its software I wrote, just had to turn into an executable for the reviewer.

Looks promising ! We are used to much more comments, so we're keeping fingers crossed!

Good luck Alfy!

Here's a song I wrote for you for good luck!

What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
then I guess it's wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
what will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's something much more,
something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
and you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.

You sound so old, 9s!

Alf this is so wonderful! Congratulations! :Hug:

2the9s said:

Thanx, 9sy. Can you carry a tune? Cuz i'd like to hear you sing it sometime, all dressed up (in a mumu)

How long until you hear, Alf?

Dunno, if the reviewers do their stuff quickly, within 2/3 weeks.

Or we'll get a mail back from the journal saying our stuff is "not of interest" for their readership.

AlfofMelmak said:

2-3 weeks! That's fast!

They can ask for additional work/data to be performed or rewriting parts of the article, so it's not a simple yes or no.

Congratulations Alfie! I wish you all the best!

Thanx Lleena, now i regret what i just said in the 'slow' thread

So, not too bad; just three weeks.

For those too lazy to scroll up (2the9s) :

Congrats, Alf. Have a beer and a cat, on me!
