@ntnsndr When I had a tenured job, I got the most requests--probably 7-10 a year, and I would reject maybe 30% of them, either because the journal was so janky they were asking me to review random articles on topics I don't work on, or because a journal was sending me an article I had already rejected/R&Red for another journal.

@ntnsndr No quota. I now reject around 90%, because it comes from high mandatory APC journals that send me stuff that should get desk-rejected. My good will has been spent by now. But I would be willing to do 5-10 if I was getting decent submissions.

@ntnsndr I do around 10 journal articles and 10 conference submissions per year. I reject all requests from publishers that charge APCs (around 15 per year). #openaccess

@ntnsndr In Computer Science, I end up reviewing 5-10 papers per year via request (half journal, half conference) and sit on the program committee for 1-2 conferences per year (reviewing and/or managing the reviewing of 5-10 conference papers). I reject almost no individual requests to review, but I reject 2-3 offers to sit on a conference PC per year.

@ntnsndr The accompanying question might be … When you review an article: How much time do you spend with your review? … It is very time consuming to analyze (and overanalyze?), document, and explain proposed changes. I have heard from top brass that it takes an entire weekend every time. … And, as a sane person, I left academia for this reason.
