Our raw submission numbers appear to keep the healthy trend of previous years, in 2014 we have received 132 new submissions and a total of 147 submissions if including resubmissions from the beginning of the year.
A new book review editor has stepped in, Hwee Tou Ng.
Since the last report, we have experienced a major system problem. For several weeks during the summer access to the journal site was difficult and unreliable and, we found out a few weeks later, email messages had not being sent properly. This problem has now been fixed but has created major disruption, especially given that some of its consequences were discovered only later. On funds from the university of Geneva, we hired a PhPspecialist who updated all the pages and interfaces and the OJS site now works properly. We have also almost completely flushed the delays that were generated by this system disruption. It seems to be necessary however to enlist the help of competent system support provided by the association, perhaps on a volunteer basis.
We are also experiencing considerable reviewers fatigue, with a lot of refusals ad a lot of late submissions of reviews.
