I was wondering how long the wait would have to be for standard
practices to return to normal. Given that at least one journal closed,
the Journal of Natural Pharmaceuticals, it is likely that at least the
major publishers are heightening review temporarily. I suppose if
there were a way to control for rejections from month to month, but
that would be difficult (or impossible) without internal data and
touch on issues of arbitrage.

Tally ho,
Jonathan
