Paper published

My paper coauthored with Sho Fujihara (UTokyo) has been published (online first) in Research in Social Stratification and Mobility. This paper is about educational assortative marriage, which is my favorite topic. Results show that assortative marriage by education has declined from 1950 to 1979 (birth cohorts) in Japan, but gender asymmetric structure has not changed. If you are interested in assortative mating or categorical data modeling, please read it.

By the way, for some reason I needed to look back on a submission history for my RSSM paper, so here is what I know.

Submitted: Aug 8, 2017
Paper sent for review: Sep 8
First R&R: Jun 19, 2018 (!!)

What I learned from this publication: Hold your horses, but always be prepared. Peer review process takes a long time, sometimes longer than you'd hope (10 months!). Also, results come suddenly, and sometimes we are allowed to have only two months for revision.
