What are the implications of a limited reviewer pool?
A limited reviewer pool can lead to several issues:
Review Delays: Manuscripts may take longer to get reviewed, which can delay the dissemination of important findings. li> Reviewer Fatigue: Overburdened reviewers may experience fatigue, leading to less thorough or lower-quality reviews. Bias: A smaller pool of reviewers may increase the risk of bias, as the same individuals may frequently review each other's work.
