Each bar shows the median of per-journal median review times within that group. Based on journal-level summaries.
Horizontal lines span from the fastest to slowest journal median in each group. Circle marks the group median. Shows the full spread of journal-level variation.
Each box shows the distribution of per-journal median review times. Box spans IQR (25th-75th percentile), line marks median, whiskers extend to 1.5x IQR.
Density curves of individual article review times (not journal medians). Each ridge shows the full distribution for one group.
Each tile is sized by total journal count in that group. Color shows data coverage percentage: green = high coverage, red = low.
Histogram of individual article review times (not journal medians) for a selected group. Dashed line marks the median.
Median review time for each group-publisher combination. Rows = groups, columns = top 30 publishers by journal count. Gray = no data.
Each point is one journal. Diagonal line = equal time in both phases. Points above the line spend more time in production.
