Abstract: The peer review process for articles is a critical component of ensuring the quality of research. This study explores the experiences of researchers in agricultural education with the peer review process. This study is part of a larger study that also examined the perspectives of peer reviewers. We used a survey to collect data from a random sample of researchers who had published in seven different journals related to agricultural education. We had 113 researchers respond. Participants experienced lengthy review processes and were generally dissatisfied with the current situation. There was an inverse relationship between satisfaction and the time between submission and publication. Participants also raised concerns about the sustainability of our current practices due to the lack of willing reviewers. Our study's results suggest editors would be well-served by identifying ethical strategies to improve the peer review process that increase efficiency without sacrificing quality and integrity.
