Thanks Ken for the references. They are informative and at times bitterly funny.
For your enjoyment, I quote:
"... a set of rules that authors can use to increase the likelihood and speed of
acceptance of their manuscirpts. Authors should (1) not pick an important problem,
(2) not challenge existing beliefs, (3) not obtain surprising results, (4) not use
simple methods, (5) not provide full disclosure, and (6) not write clearly".
(Armstrong 1982).
