Table S1. Linear model for Total Time.
We built a linear model of the Total Time as a function of whether the Reviewing Editor served as a reviewer (Editor_As_Reviewer) (categorical variable, two levels), the final decision made on a paper (Decision_No), and the number of unique reviewers. The revision time increased with the number of reviewers, but it decreased when a Reviewing Editor served as one of the reviewers.
