If you're not referenced, reject it. If you are referenced, forward it to the person referenced before/after you. The weight method: Draw a circle on the floor of radius 1 meter. Standing in the center, throw the paper straight up in the air. If it lands in the circle, accept it for publication. The aerodynamic method: Open the window. Sit in your favorite chair, and try to throw the paper out the window. If it doesn't make it, reject it. If it does, tell the publisher you never received it. The indefinite deferral method: Count the number of appearances of phrases such as ``in preparation,'' ``to appear,'' ``elsewhere,'' ``another publication,'' etc. If the number exceeds 3, tell the editor you're waiting for the other papers, which you'll referee simultaneously. The old switcheroo: Take 2 papers you've been sent, and forward them to each other's authors to referee. The thickness method: Put an anonymous note on it and slide it under a neighbor's door to referee. If it won't fit, reject it. The theological method: Throw the paper up in the air. If it comes back down, reject it. If God takes it, let Him referee it. |
