One of many

One difficulty many authors have is accepting that although their paper is a major priority in their life, for the journal editor, they are just one of many authors. It is important to realize that the editor's time is divided among not only all of the authors, but also reviewers and other obligations and commitments.

My message today is to be patient with editors, give them a reasonable amount of time for having your paper reviewed, making decisions, answering emails, and questions. Use your waiting times productively by going on to other things.
