You ever get a really good reviewer and want to know who they are?

Publishing Woes

I recently submitted a manuscript to a journal and of the 3 reviews, one was very detailed. This isn't a complaint, they made some really good points, directed me to some really niche literature on the topic I hadn't seen before, and overall it was a really informative review. The manuscript with 100% be stronger because of it, and to be honest I usually drag my feet on making edits and this really made me eager to make the changes. I'm kind of bummed I can't know who this person is because I'd really like to read their work lmao. Half just wanting to say this cause it felt a bit unusual compared to my normal experience with reviewers, but also curious lol.

I flaired this publishing woes but closer to publishing whimsy ig
