Unfortunately, they do seem pretty extraneous to me in their current location. I'm just afraid I'll get slammed by the reviewers for leaving things out. We'll see.<BR/><BR/>As for my recent spurt of productivity, don't be too jealous. I'm coming off a pretty serious dry spell.ShockProfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07229905574263889666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415015639692216699.post-62123149789961688792008-02-21T09:08:00.000-05:002008-02-21T09:08:00.000-05:002008-02-21T09:08:00.000-05:00That is crazy.

There are tons of technical issues (as your paper proves) that don't need to be presented to all readers in the text of the paper. <BR/><BR/>I am jealous you are getting things out. As I mentioned in another comment, I'm on my 4th ice day in 10 days at home with the kids. Plus we've all been sick. I have a manuscript that needs about 5 hours to be ready for submission and I haven't been able to find the time in the past month.

I would email the editor and explain the situation. The reviewers may want to see the info in the draft and then you can work with the editor to rework them into the final manuscript. Good Luck! You are burning up the place sending out all these articles over the past month or so.Velmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11902587843038579972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415015639692216699.post-76605454474736256042008-02-20T11:43:00.000-05:002008-02-20T11:43:00.000-05:002008-02-20T11:43:00.000-05:00That blows.

We got a 'revise before review.' Thankfully we didn't have 4 pages of endnotes. I ended up just deleting them all but saved the text in case a reviewer requires more clarification. It is ridiculous, though. There is some material that just doesn't belong in the text but is necessary to give readers a complete picture of what was done.Patchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17393250370819051216noreply@blogger.com
