Comparisons afterwards are tests of non-research hypotheses. It is very common in actual research: I have completed the experiment, validated the hypothesis, but still need to extend the study, so I need to continue to explore the data to see which direction could lead to valuable conclusions. At this point, it is like conducting tests on all possible comparisons (even though I cannot possibly exhaust all comparisons, but because there is no specific purpose, all comparisons are potential). Because comparisons do not only refer to differences in the mean values of two treatments, linear combinations of multiple treatments are also comparisons

Post hoc comparison refers to setting additional groups based on the characteristics of the data after data collection is completed, proposing research hypotheses, and conducting statistical analysis; it is to test non-research hypotheses and further explore the results

What is post-hoc testing?

Why does post-inspection need to be done?

First submission. Submitted in July, underwent a major revision in the middle, with many issues, made some small edits after reverting back, and finally accepted. In between, there were New Year and the pandemic, and of course, I also procrastinated for two months during the major revision, returning just before the final deadline. It finally got accepted after 8 months, published online, and was quickly published. Compared to some other first-tier journals, the review process was quite fast, but whether to push for publication is still up to oneself

It was my first submission. The manuscript was submitted in July, and a major revision was made during the period. There were a lot of problems, minor revision was required after the submission of the revision, and it was then accepted. During the period, it was the Chinese New Year and pandemic, of course it was also the delay for two months when I made major revision, all of these led to the delay of resubmission by the deadline. It took 8 months in total and the article was finally accepted. Being published online and in journal was also fast. Compared with some other top journals, the review speed is fast. However, urging it or not depends on yourself.

How long does it take for the initial review? It's been over two weeks and I haven't heard anything yet

Experience sharing: Anxiety, there are only a few ornithology journals, it feels too difficult to get in

Anxiety, the journal of ornithology is just a few, it feels too difficult.

Whenever I see the price go up, I feel much happier. Even though the increase is not big, the base is not high either. Relatively speaking, it is still comforting. I will work harder next year and strive to break through the 1.5 mark
