Researchers working out-of-hours

Examining submissions and peer reviews to two journals (BMJ and BMJ Open) on weekends, early mornings / late nights, and holidays.

The files are:

• Lists of national holidays used in countries with holiday data available (holidays.md)
• Countries that do not have Saturday to Sunday weekend (weekend.defintion.md)
• R and Rmarkdown files to manage data and run the analyses
• SessionInfo.txt gives the version of R and the libraries
• Protocol in Word (Weekend.protocol.v1.5.20190718.docx)
• Data in subfolder
• Selected figures in subfolder

The data subfolder contains the data in R format used to run the analyses after processing to remove excluded submissions and peer reviews.
