If it’s a Monday morning during the academic year (and, yes, I’m already on contract), it’ll be journal management stuff—engaging in the type of detail that can drive an editor to drink<\/del> be glad that an online journal system<\/a> exists. We’re behind in publishing English-language articles right now because authors who need to answer queries to help get an article up are often on vacation and out of e-mail range in the summer. I heard from one author today and hope to receive at least one set of answers within a day or two. I also received two final MS’s over the weekend, so I can work on them when my brain isn’t full of brain-melting editorial tasks (e.g., who has the expertise to read this manuscript?<\/em> which is fine until you consider that my reviewer database includes not only the main editorial board and the new-scholar board but a bunch of very nice volunteer ad-hoc reviewers, all totaling 160). Today, I made review assignments for 6 manuscripts. One came in either yesterday or this morning that I responded to, and there are three left I either need to make assignments for or decide not to circulate for review.
