Robyn CaplanWhat is the longest you've ever waited to get through the first round of review at a journal? We are coming up on 6 months here and I am getting frustrated.
Thad@RobynCaplan I've waited 18 months, which really sucks. Nothing wrong with pinging the editors. It's getting harder and harder to round up reviewers, and things can fall through the cracks. But editors know how important timely reviews are.
