This is especially true for smaller journals!

Ben Williamson @benpatrickwill.bsky.social · Sep 6

Peer reviewers are exhausted. It's common to spend *months* inviting reviewers, getting refusals, inviting more, maybe 12 or more, then 2 agree but 1 doesn't complete, so you go again. That's why your paper is in limbo. I'm very sorry, it's awful, but it's also an untenable academic labour issue.

If you have not found Roberta Magnusson's work yet, it may be of interest, especially Water Technology in the Middle Ages--she goes later than I do!
