An essential take amid article inflation & overburdened reviewers
Editors aren't supposed to excessively return manuscripts & outsource decisions to reviewers
Many psych journals can learn a lot here from medicine & epi, where these decisions are equally robust, but far more efficient (eg. Lancet)

Peer Review is broken because a generation of Editors were trained that peer review is sacrosanct. Thus we have Editors who are clerks, sending and re-sending manuscripts to reviewers until they are happy. That's not the job. Be an Editor, not a clerk. Use your skill and judgement. Make decisions.

Great piece by Crudgington & Andrews on the multidimensionality of social isolation and the distinct health and behavioural outcomes related to different isolation types.
Beyond calls for improved definitions, they warn against treating isolation as a single metric, obfuscating evidence syntheses.
