I can't find any explicit guidelines about this. What do you think @tdverstynen @o_guest @cMadan @ceptional @IrisVanRooij?

That was my thinking as well, but I've seen a few articles that instead summarize methods, and was wondering what, if any, is the official or recommended policy

There's nothing in the submission guidelines. I might just contact the editor to make sure what they prefer

Sometimes you're limited in space and must refer the reader, but yeah, ideally I'd go over the previous one but I'd do it slightly more briefly than not, especially since I'd want to defer to/people to read the original authors if that makes sense.

I agree with your sentiment. That said, we submitted a paper analysing existing data with a shortened method section, but received feedback from reviewers that they needed more (practically full) details to understand metods and how those affected interpretation of results.

My concern exactly. As a reader I don't like when I see that, because often I just take the article with me to read somewhere where i might not have access to the other one. But it seems most people voted for summaries

I dunno. I'm conflicted. But yes as a general rule I completely agree that more info is better esp since people can skip.

The editor recommended that since there is no word limit for method section, we should redescribe the method in full, regardless of the fact that the experiment has been previously published
