TL;DR: In this article, an attempt to study the peer-review process directly, in the natural setting of actual journal referee evaluations of submitted manuscripts, was made. But the results showed that only three (8%) of the 38 editors and reviewers detected the resubmissions.

How adaptive behavior is produced: a perceptual-motivational alternative to response reinforcements
TL;DR: By suggesting that the animal learns the overlapping and nested correlations between the stimulus events that commonly occur in a given situation, and by separating what is learned from the processes of response production, the proposed perceptual-motivational framework seems capable of dealing with the problems of motor equivalence and flexibility in adaptive behavior.

Barriers to Scientific Contributions: The Author's Formula
TL;DR: The Author's Formula as discussed by the authors is a set of rules that authors can use to increase the likelihood and speed of acceptance of their manuscripts, such as not picking an important problem, not challenging existing beliefs, not obtaining surprising results, not using simple methods, not providing full disclosure, and not writing clearly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is adjunctive behavior a third class of behavior
TL;DR: It is recommended that given the growing difficulties in maintaining an operant-respondent dichotomy, rather than admitting adjunctive behavior into either of these categories, research efforts should de-emphasize preconceived and outdated notions about categories of behavior and how such behaviors should behave and instead focus on mapping functional relationships between behavior and various procedures for presenting non-contingent stimuli.
