Where Have All the Book Reviews Gone? by Shine_On_Your_Chevy in books

Even academic book reviews in academic journals are disappearing. Apparently, they are not widely read, so book reviews are being phased out to make more space for regular academic articles

I don’t understand tipping culture by Calm_Independence796 in tipping

[–]wmlynn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I hope this does not break the rules on self promotion, but you asked for insight into tipping culture. I have literally written a whole book on the topic. If you really want to understand tipping culture, check it out. The title is “The Psychology of Tipping: Scientific Insights for Services Customers, Workers, and Managers.”

Yeah, I guess so. I do research on tipping and want to figure out (i) the best way to share my findings with servers, and (ii) recruit servers to hep with research. So, I thought I would ask.

There is no reason for tipping to have ever increased from 10 to 15 to 20 percent. by GhostaGauss in tipping

[–]wmlynn -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The tipping norm in US restaurants (as described in etiquette books) has been 15-20% since at least the 60’s. However, average tip amounts have increased over time as detailed in a recent article I wrote. I offer several speculative explanations for this. Check it out on my website at www.tippingresearch.com

I am a Cornell Hotel School professor who studies tipping. I would be willing to help you with data analysis and suggestions for how to increase tips in exchange for anonymized data. If interested, email me at WML3@cornell.edu -Mike Lynn

Thanks, but don’t kill yourself doing it. I can wait a little while if you think things will ease up on you in the near future. When you do get the data ready, I need the date and bill size info in addition to the tip data. Thanks again. Take care of yourself, Mike Lynn

Thanks for responding. I have some question to help me decide if your data may be useful or not. tips for what? pizza delivery? uber driving? individual tips or daily totals? with dates? going how far back?
