Key points Contradicting expectations, a non‐medical journal received increasing submissions during the pandemic, even though laboratories remained closed. Peer reviewers and handling editors were both more responsive and provided faster turnaround times during 2020. The reasons for increased submission to the journal may have been due to reanalysis of older data or extracting more findings from research done pre‐pandemic.
