Environmental Economics

If I am reading it right, the data says if you are going to agree to review 10 papers, you might as well agree to 15 because it will take the same amount of time…. It would be cool to break down the time of year you reviewed those papers. I bet you are more efficient at different times of the year…
But as I look at the graph again, maybe that isn’t what yo are plotting. Should the x-asix be “review number” as opposed to “number of reviews”. Does the last data point say that it took you 77 days to do 34 reviews or the 34th review took 77 days? I think you may mean the latter in which case, yeah, you need to see if time of year pulls out any patterns…

The data goes back to 2007 or 2008, I think. JEEM didn’t start using computers until later.

I would be interested to see days to review as well. If less time is spent per review when there are more papers reviewed, you could say there was more efficiency or you could say that the more papers are reviewed, the less quality time each one gets (no offense John)!

I thought it was a year or two and I got worried.
