Charted: the widening gap between submissions and reviewers
Authors
Abstract
Two lines that have been diverging since 2016, and a projection that should worry every editor. The analysis draws on a corpus assembled from institutional repositories, preprint servers and publisher metadata feeds, and the full dataset together with the code needed to reproduce every figure is deposited under a permissive licence. Limitations, including coverage gaps in non-English sources, are set out in the discussion.
