2009Q3 Reports: Squibs and Comments

Squibs Report [Posted on behalf of Pierre Isabelle by Robert Dale]

At the beginning of year 2008, there were four submissions in the Squibs pipeline. In the course of year 2008, 9 additional papers were (re-) submitted. At the end of 2008, there were 2 submissions left in the pipeline. Thus, 11 decisions were made over the year.

The results were as follows:

 * 1 paper accepted 
 * 7 papers rejected
 * 3 invitations to revise 

The mean time taken for these decisions was 75 days.

Thus far, 5 papers have been (re-) submitted to the Squibs Editor in 2007.

Also, I have started to handle some book reviews on behalf of Graeme Hirst, for books published in a series he is editing for Morgan & Claypool.
