ConGrat @chknutsen.bsky.social and @sirianned.bsky.social ! Very important research!

Yes, but I think length leads to the recommendation to shorten. Omission leads to the recommendation to reject. Note that there is nothing normative in these observations. (I simply summarized some ways to avoid negative reports on your submission.)

There is nothing normative/social-norm related, here. I simply summarized some ways to avoid negative reports on your submission. Editors do of course try to counterbalance. (I may later posts advices for editors/the profession.)
