THE THREE TABLES BELOW provide summary statistics on the editorial process in the form presented in previous editors’ reports. Table I indicates that we received 1205 new submissions this year. This number is the highest ever, and reflects a growing trend in the last few years. The number of accepted papers (77) has increased from last year’s 60. Table III gives data on the time to first decision for decisions made in this reporting year, with 73% of papers decided within three months and 97% decided within six months. Decision times for revisions were 56% returned within three months and 92% within six months. Table IV provides information about the total time to publication for accepted articles. Papers accepted during 2019–2020 spent an average of 9 months in the hands of the journal (adding up all “rounds”) and 17 months in the hands of the authors (carrying out revisions) prior to final acceptance; the time between acceptance and publication averaged 6 months.

TABLES I–III BELOW PROVIDE summary statistics on the editorial process in the form presented in previous editors’ reports.

Table I indicates that we received 955 new submissions this year. This number is down from the previous year (there were 996 submissions in 2017–2018, highest on record). The
number of accepted papers (60) went down from last year’s 67. The number of conditionally accepted papers increased (from 38 to 40).

Table III gives data on the time to decision for submissions evaluated in this reporting year. For new submissions, 62% of papers were decided within three months and 96% were decided within six months. 53% of revisions were returned within three months and 93% within six months. We hope to continue to keep the number of reviews that last more than six months low while maintaining high-quality of reports from our referees, associate editors, and co-editors.
