This is frustrating! ORE should help reduce the reviewing burden on academics, not make it worse. They also must stand for high quality publication, review, and integrity practices. Hopefully the planned expansion will allow for investment in the editorial team to handle cases.

I wish publishers took this seriously. It's frustrating & the same applies to submissions. APS has issues too & we're working to improve that. The volume of articles (& AI etc) means protecting quality & research integrity is hard enough without outdated systems getting in the way.

Somewhat - Preprints are part of a healthy ecosystem, proven over decades by physicists. But peer review, quality publication, remain essential. Improving Openness is vital, but it cannot come at the cost of integrity and quality of science, lest science become like the rest of the web.
