Fig 6. Factors predicting whether the manuscript was sent out for review, showing the posterior mode estimates for the fixed effects in the binomial model.

The model contained: manuscript type (N: research paper = 1,914, reviews = 88, short notes = 242, special issue = 15; contrast level = research paper), year, gender of the last author (N: male = 1,693, female = 566; contrast level = female), continent of affiliation (N: Africa = 26, America = 794, Asia = 81, Europe = 1,205, Oceania = 153; contrast level = Europe), gender of the editor (N: male = 1,920, female = 339; contrast level = female), gender of the first author (N: male = 1,286, female = 973; contrast level = female), and the interaction between the gender of the first author and the editor. * indicates posterior modes whose 95% credible intervals do not overlap zero, after FDR correction.
