Found this + outsourcing to companies that employ clearly unqualified/inexperienced/severely overworked human editors a huge problem. One collaborative project I'm involved in has been delayed for months b/c of botched production.

Was joking a bit last week that @victorianreview.bsky.social should promote the fact that a single *experienced human copyeditor who we know* works on every journal issue, but maybe journals/publishers that do that really should promote that as a big advantage of working with them 🤔
