As a journal editor, I have just checked the stats for 10 papers
I am handling.
68 review invites sent
13 accepted
32 declined
23 no response.
Finding reviewers is getting harder and harder, and peer review needs everyone to engage for it to work.

@FrontNeurosci sends a 'late' notice on the day that your review is due. The day isn't over yet! The day sometimes hasn't even *started* in my timezone!2 replies 0 retweets 25 likes

I’ve had that happen too. Infuriating.
