Publishing economics articles takes on average 2-1/4 years from the time an article is submitted. At least 10% of articles take 4+ years. An experiment shows that much of the work that lengthens this process adds nothing to the value of the research.

Why is publishing in economics much slower than in the natural sciences and in other social sciences? According to a new IZA paper, much of this slowness is due to authors' procrastination! Several ways are proposed to speed up the process.
