If you are sad about how long it takes for the journal review process right now, please make sure to 1) respond to review requests as fast as possible, and 2) if you cannot review, PLEASE recommend 2-3 other good reviewers. There is nothing that speeds up the pre-review process more than these two things right now. Am averaging about 10-12 requests per article to get 3 reviewers, and each of those asks adds a week or more to the process. The more you know! #politicalscience
