Set a realistic submission review expectation

A review estimate should reflect team capacity and the type of submission. An unqualified instant-approval promise can create avoidable frustration.

Directoryz editorial guide · Updated September 7, 2026

Put it into practice

Measure recent review times and explain what delays a submission. Keep the estimate distinct from a guaranteed deadline unless you can honor it.

Worked example · illustrative

What this looks like

State that incomplete entries require contributor corrections rather than counting all waiting time as active editorial review.

Before you move on

Does the published expectation match the process contributors actually experience?

Write down the evidence for your answer. If you cannot point to a concrete example, revise the work before treating it as ready.

A repeatable workflow

  1. Explain the information required before submission.
  2. Review facts separately from presentation.
  3. Give contributors a clear next step.
