Did you know that editors sometimes have to invite 12 reviewers just to get two reviews? As submissions rise, we need to work together to keep our review process efficient and high-quality. We’re launching a new tracking tool in PaperCept to help authors and reviewers monitor their activity. While it starts as an awareness tool, we plan to reward exceptional reviewers in the future. Let’s ensure the future of robotics research stays strong!
