q1 · i? · theoretical · r1

Editorial report of journal operations: the printed figures are 50 days in 2006 and 25 days in 2013 for time to first decision. The editor states keeping turnaround low will require "extra diligence and effort" from reviewers and himself.

"Although the time to first decision has already decreased from 50 days in 2006 to an impressive 25 days in 2013, I consider it a key responsibility to try to keep turnaround times on submitted manuscripts as low as possible."
