There are simply more parallel sessions, and if you're a little careful in your selection of talks you go to, the talk quality definitely matches the talk quality at an average APA meeting.<BR/><BR/>I didn't mean to imply that the talk quality is higher at the AAP, just that it isn't remarkably lower in spite of the fact that there is no blind refereeing.<BR/><BR/>As you might know from earlier posts here at Lemmings, I am a big fan of blind refereeing when it matters.

Do other values (for example, opportunities for grad students and lesser known scholars to present) get sacrificed by foregoing blind review?an ominous moderatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797398796690484506noreply@blogger.com
