Usually have to contact support to remove them. I know…

I really don’t want to restrict who can submit - I really believe in contributions from amateurs and students - but if this continues I’m not sure what else to do. Depressing. And as @carlbergstrom.com said in his thread - it comes from a complete misunderstanding of what science is.

I’m also getting wild swings in topic. A rejection of one paper will instantly generate a submission of another, usually on something quite different.

Research Notes of the AAS in particular, which was set up to handle short, moderated contributions especially from students, is getting swamped. Often the authors clearly haven’t read what they’ve submitting, (Descriptions of figures that don’t exist or don’t show what they purport to)

Not if it boils the oceans.
