Journal editors struggling to find reviewers — there are some bloody good reasons why

I used to think it was merely a post-COVID19 hiccough, but the extensive delays in receiving reviews for submitted manuscripts that I am seeing near constantly now are the symptoms of a much larger problem. That problem is, in a nutshell, how awfully journals are treating both authors and reviewers these days. I regularly hear stories from editors handling my papers, as well as accounts from colleagues, about the ridiculous number of review requests they send with no response.

Latest data from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social shows: January 2025 was the warmest January globally on record 🌡️ 1.75ºC above pre-industrial level 🌊 Second highest global SST, 0.19°C below January 2024  #ClimateAction 🧪⚒️🌍

CoastClim researchers are currently on a field campaign in NZ. Preliminary measurements suggest high emissions of #GHG in degraded #coastalecosystems. This highlights the role of coastal ecosystems in #climatechange mitigation plans. #collaboration #universityofauckland #helsinkiuni #stockholmuni

Vuosi 2024 oli mittaushistorian lämpimin. Ensimmäistä kertaa lämpeneminen ylitti 1,5 astetta. Vuoteen mahtui mm. historian kuumin, yksittäinen päivä. Hiilidioksidia ja metaania oli ilmakehässä enemmän kuin koskaan mittaushistoriassa. yle.fi/a/74-20135259

Maailman keski­lämpötilan nousu ylitti 1,5 astetta ensi kertaa mittaus­historiassa, ja se näkyi tulvina ja hirmu­myrskyinä

Vuoden 2024 lämpöennätystä selittää osaltaan luonnollinen sääilmiö El Niño. Ihmisen toiminta eli ilmastopäästöt olivat silti suurin syy lämpenemiseen.
