SciRev - Review the scientific review process

Please record your review experiences with journals at SciRev. In today's mindless garbage-in garbage-out approach to scientific publication, this is important. I just posted about idiotic recent experiences, one with an Editor who possesses a BSc degree.

For me, compatible veggies for upuma: green chili, ginger, onion, potato, cauliflower, green peas, occasionally cabbage, cilantro. In my book, definitely no tomatoes. Being a traditionalist outside the experimental cooking, ghee roasted sooji.

Ever wonder what would happen if a substrate has two reactive moieties that can undergo reaction with the same reactant under similar conditions? Here is an example of catalyst controlled selectivity.

@drsanjaygupta.bsky.social A small clarification, "phthalates" is not a single compound but a family of compounds, based on phthalic acid, with different alcohols to prepare the various phthalates (actually esters).
