And if you reckon banks have moderated their behaviour post-financial crisis, get this: US loans to private equity and credit funds have jumped by 60 per cent between the fourth quarter of 2024 and the second quarter of this year. To almost half a trillion dollars.

So I'll have 100+ papers to desk review tmrw 😔 It's not all AI, though publisher says that's a likely contributor. But I don't fully understand what else is driving this crazy increase - or what to do before journals collapse under the strain

Logged in to ScholarOne for the journal I co-edit and jfc we had as many submissions in 2 weeks as we used to receive in 6 months 😱 Just so you understand why journal desk rejects these days give no feedback - we just can't at this wild volume. Is it the same for other journals and editors?
