I have had a few papers submitted during the pandemic and the time limits given to the reviewer and the time the reviewer actually takes varies drastically. For example, one of my papers was under its second round of peer review for nearly four months. I have colleagues in similar positions with their papers as well.
I do think a monetary incentive would speed up the peer review process if the pay rate was cut for late review submissions.
- ta988 6y agoYes thats because journals are struggling to find reviewers. I sometimes receive 10-20 requests a week...
- ta988 6y agoAnd you say no I don't have time or your president said horrible things and you didnt distance yourself from him (MDPI) and they come back begging you to still review or give them the name of someone who could. Quality of reviewing has been ridiculous these last couple of years for this reason, and they start to go lower in the ranks. Many professors ask their grad students to review papers for them (so they benefit for it in their performance reviews while not doing the work)
