So I made the mistake of joining too many PCs at once... I decided to channel the resulting angst into a blog post about common mistakes I saw that sank papers. It's aimed at students writing their first papers, but hopefully valuable to all! kaptchuk.com/blog/post/revie…

In bullet point form: - make sure your writing choices dont make the paper harder to review - you gotta pick the right evaluation metrics (and justify the choice) - rebuttals are pretty broken in their current state
