The role of journal editors in long review times by Jo VanEvery, Academic Career Guide published on 2022-11-02T11:56:28Z Part of a short series addressing the issue of long review times, this track focuses on the role of the journal editor in the time it takes from submission to decision. I connect long review times to general issues of workload management. Since first publishing this post, the scope of control journal editors have has changed considerably. Authors still look to you to control this process but I highly recommend a recent piece published by The Scholarly Kitchen: An Editor's Perspective on "My Very Last Issue" (https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/01/15/guest-post-an-editors-perspective-on-my-very-last-issue/) Other tracks in this series include "The frustrations of peer review: Why is it taking so long?" and "How you, as a peer reviewer, can contribute to a better process" Read the post here: https://jovanevery.co.uk/role-journal-editors-long-review-times/ For more content like this, sign up to the monthly newsletter: jovanevery.co.uk/newsletter Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/JoVanEvery Find my Facebook Page here: facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoach Join the Academic Writing Studio: academicwritingstudio.co.uk Genre Podcast
