Next, the editorial office checks the status of your paper and finds out that only two reviewers have accepted the invitation although the journal policy requires three.

After four rounds of harsh peer review, #Reviewer3 is found dead at his keyboard. The Editor has gone missing too. The most likely suspects are the authors of the article under review, but the journal’s antiquated blinding system won’t reveal the authors’ names without the editor’s login.
