Other Factors

The available data around average reputation score and Net Promoter Score (NPS) was too slight to make any meaningful analysis (most journals would have been excluded due to lack of sufficient respondents.) Of 601 available NPS scores, 591 were “promoter” scores. Of the 10 “demoter” scores, only 3 corresponded with years when the number of submissions decreased at the same journal.
No, or only negligible, difference was found in percentage submission increases when analyzing time to first decision, time to acceptance, and acceptance ratio. These null results are summarized in Table \ref{999580}.
