Yes, it's one-of-a-kind, thanks to Anil! I don't wear it much because I don't want to wear it out. Only for appropriate occasions.
But I don't get that. Is that standard in COPE submissions? Why bother moving dates around by months here or there? Doesn't make a lot of sense to...
I've written about the statement to COPE on the school absence study. I've also seen the COPE statement on the registration issue, and it does...
Yes, of course they do. And I plan to write an open letter to MRC folks. But these enablers have already made it clear they think PACE was fine...
