Addressing review delays requires a multifaceted approach:
Streamlined Processes: Journals can implement more efficient review processes, such as triaging submissions to quickly identify those needing minimal review. Incentives for Reviewers: Offering incentives, such as recognition or discounts on publication fees, can encourage timely reviews. Reviewer Training: Providing training and guidelines can help reviewers deliver more efficient and effective evaluations. Collaborative Platforms: Utilizing collaborative platforms for peer review can streamline communication and reduce delays.
