There is a possibility that the rise in decision time during the first part of 2017 was due in part  to one of the Editors in Chief being out for that time period, causing significant load on the remaining TACL HQ Officers. We hope that with the restoration of our full EiC roster that the times may drop.
 
 
 
The drop at the end is due to the fact that what is plotted is decided-upon submissions, whereas ''there were 22 and 19 valid submissions in the June 2017 and July 2017 round''s, respectively; so, the last two months' data will rise in subsequent reports.  Also  not counted: papers handled using START (the early days of TACL), papers, and the 146 papers archived for some technical or formatting problem.

We sincerely thank ACL Secretary Shiqi Zhao for granting us an extension on July 2nd for a new reporting deadline of Tuesday July 25th due to circumstances beyond our control. -- the TACL Editors-in-Chief

Some statistics

Some statistics =

Number of submissions and timing of first decision

Depicted below is the history of the number of distinct submission IDs that have received a decision excluding desk rejects (in contrast to plots from prior reports) in and the average time to first decision, grouped by round (=nearest first-of-the-month). The decision time for papers submitted within in a month is counted as starting from the first of the next month.

June and July 2017 actually had 22 and 19 valid submissions, respectively, so the last data points will change as those decisions come in and are included. Also not counted: papers handled using START (the early days of TACL), papers, and the 146 papers archived for some technical or formatting problem.
