IJAL accept, reject, resubmit figures

[s.t. bischoff]

Hi all,

In the latest SSILA news letter Keren Rice has a very nice piece on the
editorship of IJAL. I've taken the numbers she provides regarding
submissions, acceptance, rejection and revise and resubmit and pasted them
below. I thought they might be interesting in light on the recent
discussions regarding such issues.  The bold below is mine.

Cheers,
Shannon
