Adventures in journal publishing

My collaborators and I submitted a paper to Physica D a couple weeks ago.

The request to review this paper was sent this morning to one of the co-authors of the paper. Um, the editors ought to be checking this...

Anyway, this gives a novel reason to decline to referee a paper: "I'm sorry. I can't referee this paper because I'm one of its bloody authors. That said, you should publish it as is."
