From the #SilverChair report on the state of #PeerReview:
https://www.silverchair.com/news/the-numbers-behind-the-noise/
"The global reviewer pool grew 54% between 2018 and 2025. At the same time, the rate at which those reviewers accept invitations has fallen sharply. It now takes editors an average of 4.5 invitations to secure a single review, nearly double the rate from 2018. That inefficiency has a cost. Per 100 invitations sent, editors wait a combined 407 days for reviewers who ultimately say no or say nothing at all."
