I’ve been trying to keep better records on the articles I review.  I keep all of the old reviews but it is hard to keep track someitmes.  I try to keep a record of my reviews (just the journal and title) in an excel spreadsheet.  Here is my count of reviews done since 2005 (when I started keeping these records).

2005   11 articles

2006   14 articles

2007   27 articles

2008   26 articles

2009   33 articles

2010   38 articles

2011   26 articles (Parental Leave: Basically no reviews from Sept-Dec)

2012   20 articles thus far (5 more to review in the next few weeks)

I honestly don’t know what the average reviewer burden is for most tenured folks.  I’ve published one paper in a management journal and one in an econ journal.  This means that I get a few papers a year from non-political science journals.  But the major of these reviews are in poli sci (19/20 this year are poli sci).

Nothing profound to say.  I was just finishing up a review tonight and looked at the numbers.

I’ll open up the comments in case anyone wants to offer insights on their reviewer burden.
