Midterm week and Jamie asked, “Do I put a period after the DOI in APA 7?” No—APA 7th requires the DOI as a plain URL with no trailing punctuation; just 10.1037/arc0000123. Same rule applies in Chicago author‑date. #ResearchSkills #ChicagoStyle

Midterm deadline is Oct 20 and Maya asked why my APA 7 reference list still has “Retrieved from” before a DOI. Drop that phrase; APA 7 requires only https://doi.org/xxxxx after the title. In Chicago author‑date, place the DOI after the URL, no period before it. #ResearchSkills #ChicagoStyle

I used to skip the DOI in APA 7 because the journal article seemed obvious; the professor rejected the whole reference until I added https://doi.org/10.1234/abc. Now I pull the DOI from CrossRef first, paste it, and the citation passes on first try. #ResearchSkills
Forgot to include the DOI in an APA 7 journal citation; the professor subtracted two points on a 10‑page literature review because the reference read “Retrieved from https://…” instead of “ Rule: APA 7 requires the DOI, formatted as a URL, right after the page range. #APAstyle #ResearchSkills

One of the hardest things to teach in research is judgment.
When should we repeat an experiment?
When is a strange result worth following?
When is there enough evidence to change direction?
These decisions are part of research expertise.
@reviewerone.bsky.social3/4
This becomes even more important in fast-changing fields.
A reviewer may have deep experience and still need support when methods, standards, or publication practices change.

If an important issue sits outside your expertise, flag it without overreaching.
Explain what you noticed and why it may matter, then let the editor decide whether additional specialist input is needed.

Start with design alignment.
Do both components contribute to the same research question in a clear way, or do they feel like separate studies?
