Hello all,
How are you handling manuscript review requests during this time period of uncertainty around COVID-19?
In the past, my policy has been to make sure I do at least as many reviews as I anticipate receiving in a given year for manuscripts that my students and I submit. Beyond that, I try to say yes to any manuscript that I feel like I could appropriately review and to any journal for which I serve as a Consulting Editor as long as my review queue is reasonably manageable.
But now? I am sheltering at home with my family, which includes two young children, while also trying to get my courses online and do other work and support elderly relatives elsewhere etc etc.
I received three review requests today and need to figure out how to approach these and other review requests in moving forward.
I know that many, many researchers are juggling a lot right now. How do you think we should all approach this issue of figuring out how much reviewing to do?
Thank you,
Candice
