The review process occurs in all instances where review coordination is requested (by emailing me or DarTar). There's only been one case where a review took more than 2 weeks and that was because the researcher didn't respond to requests for more information quickly.
Nathan, I think you are mistakenly thinking that all research needs to be reviewed. Only research that involves the recruitment of Wikipedians as subjects is intended to be reviewed via RCOM's process. Only those studies that request it will be reviewed. -Aaron On Tue, Jul 29, 2014 at 8:59 AM, Nathan <nawr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks.
