@AndrewAMataya Your second option is preferred: upper middle-income country. @ChicagoManual seems to bear this out as well (chapter 7.87 on hyphens). @worldbank also formats as "upper middle-income economies." However we've seen "upper-middle-income country" as well (2 hyphens).
@AMAManual: "upper–middle-income country" or "upper middle-income country"? (Grammarly is putting red lines under both and is voting for "upper-middle-income".)

De-listing such big a journal is clearly a sign.
And the sign says this: you *do* get a high IF, dead easy publication to add to your CV. But it might be worth nothing a few years down the line, when people stop believing in magic.

Manuscript rejected after 3 months because the journal couldn’t find ONE single reviewer. I hear this is an increasingly common issue across journals.
Academics, if we’re not supporting each other to move our fields forward, what are we even doing?

We're trying to raise money to help clear the severe backlog of ortho trauma patients here in Malawi before a new facility LION opens on April 28. 100+ patients can't wait that long. Just $400 can support us operating on the weekends. gofund.me/701c7ce2

My nephew Yami hasn't been seen or heard from in a couple of days by his family. We will appreciate any information on his possible whereabouts. Please help us share this poster far and wide 🙏

But this idealized idea of what peer review gets you *is exactly the problem*. The eLife model is acknowledging that, and sharing reviews to help you place *this specific manuscript* rather than relying on the mean of its distribution
