Am thinking about how my historical data on journal turnaround times compares to that discussed by Christos Petrou for 2011–2020 on #ScholarlyKitchen.

He says:
2019/20 - average turnaround time (all disciplines) 163 days

2011/12 (all disciplines), 199 days

My data from #RoyalSociety (science only):

2009 - about 70 days
2002 - about 280 days
1960 - anything between 210-315 days...
