In the past decade I helped 38 DECRA and Future Fellow applicants on writing grants that 100% and solely belong to them (I spent days and sometimes weeks on each). Many in competing institutions. The success rate was ~50%. Something to be proud of

As a reviewer I never reject a paper based on my perceived impact of the paper and the quality of the journal
I believe that I can never be certain about how a scientific work may influence a field in the future
This is against the general academic trend
What do you think?
