The Way to Review Papers

Days ago, Tim emailed me a manuscript from Nature which he is reviewing right now, and asked my thoughts on it.

This morning, I asked Chris if Tim showed her this manuscript. Chris said Tim mentioned but she has not read it yet.

Then Chris continued, "Tim is very scary for reviewing paper, you know?"

"Why?" I asked.

Answered, "Because he never reads it. Tim will read the abstract first to get a general idea, and then go to the figures directly. He doesn't reads text. But usually he is right on his comments."

"It is scary..."

So, remember making beautiful figures, if you want to put Tim's name on your suggesting reviewer list.
