We are trying to publish in Springer Nature. Previously, I've only had constructive and meaningful reviews. Now this reviewer #2 made a comment that we should cite more related work, then gave 7 links of his own work that are very much unrelated to anything in the manuscript. I find a reviewer like this incredible stupid and unprofessional. Of course I know who he is and I know he is still doing a PhD since all of the papers he linked are written by one person.

Since we want to publish in the journal, I picked on of his very general paper and just picked a very general point he made and cited one of his work.

During the second round of reviews, the other reviewer (the one who gave all constructive feedback) has approved all the changes. Now this mfckr of reviewer #2 wanted more works cited again and gave a link to his work. I am going to cite more related work, but I won't add any of his work this time.

MOST OF ALL, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE EDITORS IN THAT SPRINGER NATURE JOURNAL SINCE THEY LET THESE KINDS OF TOXIC REVIEWERS GIVE THESE KINDS OF COMMENTS. I would have thought a reputable journal would quality check their reviewers and the comments they give to the manuscript.

Anyway, I still want to publish with them but if this reviewer is going to throw me all his insecurities in the next round, I am bringing the paper somewhere else.

HAVE YOU TRIED, OR HEARD ANYONE SEND A COMPLAINT TO THE EDITOR FOR A TOXIC REVIEWER? I am seriously considering this.

Bonjour,

Avec mon conjoint, nous sommes en train de préparer un projet d'achat immobilier en résidence principale et de monter notre dossier pour le Prêt à Taux Zéro (PTZ).

Cependant, une incompréhension est survenue avec notre banquier : lors de la simulation, il nous a comptés comme 1 seule personne pour le calcul des plafonds de ressources du PTZ, sous prétexte que nous formons un seul foyer fiscal (mariés/pacsés).

De mon côté, j'avais compris que le PTZ se basait sur le nombre total d'occupants du futur logement, ce qui ferait de nous un ménage de 2 personnes.

• Est-ce que certains d'entre vous ont déjà eu le cas ?
• Le banquier a-t-il tort et doit-on exiger qu'il modifie le nombre d'occupants à 2 dans sa simulation?

Merci d'avance

Hello, for architects or those who recently built a house/availed an architect's service: how much is a standard fee for a 53sqm house in the province? Is an 800k budget for construction sufficient with today's costs, if not, how much is a realistic price or estimate per sqm?

Hey everyone, I was about to book a slot for the July DELF A2 exam in Paris. I checked Alliance Francaise and Sorbonne, but both don't have slots anymore. (Is that normal???)

Does anybody know of any other places aside from Prosodia (do they only have the manual registration where you need to send the filled-out form)?

Thank you!

I always have a problem with the leaves on my calathea browning at the edges. Any tips on how to avoid this?

Hello, for those who have established their lives overseas: After how many years of working were you able to buy a house in the country you're in?

Hello, I am applying for a standard visitor visa from France. Is a certified translation really needed for the documents, or is it acceptable to have a friend sign off on the translation (where they can just put their profession, contact details, etc and the confirmation that the translation is correct.)

PS Didn't realise how expensive the UK visa + VFS fees are! crazy
