Editor invites several reviewers from reviewer data base
At least two independent reviews are obtained; average is three reviews
EIC makes final
decision on
manuscript
Editor makes recommendation of:(a) Accept without change(b) Revise and resubmit(c) Reject; do not resubmit
Target: 45
days for 1st

pub
Editor receives paper
from EIC
ISSUES OF CONCERN
� Editors� Getting quality reviews (IEEE requires at least two reviews – bare minimum!)� Managing reviewer response (overdue reviewers)
� Authors� Complaints about peer review comments� Seeking re-submission after rejection
� Reviewers� Overburdened
� Publishers� Annual page budget� Open access vs. traditional publishing
