Trends in Submissions
We received 586 submissions in 2021. We take the decline in submissions to reflect, at least in part, the difficulties faced by our authors as a result of COVID and the various lockdowns. Even with this dip in numbers, this still represents a 45% increase in submissions since 2011.
