    Wouter,<br>
    &nbsp; Perhaps a sample of what you are looking for is found in the
    annual reports for the American Economic Association Journals.&nbsp;
    These normally appear in the May Papers and Proceedings issue. Here
    is a link to the most recent one<br>
    <br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.aeaweb.org/articles.php?doi=10.1257/aer.103.3">https://www.aeaweb.org/articles.php?doi=10.1257/aer.103.3</a> <br>
    <br>
    Take a look, for example at the reports for the American Economic
    Review and for the <br>
    various American Economic Journal: xxx<br>
    They report the number of articles submitted, number accepted,&nbsp; a
    list of referees, and so on. I think they also at least sometimes
    report figures on delay times from submission to acceptance and or
    publication.<br>
    <br>
    The January issues of Econometrica also have annual reports that
    include most of this information.<br>
    <br>
    I would be interested to hear about other similar information that
    you uncover.<br>
    <br>
    Cheers,<br>
    Ted<br>
