I don't know who needs to hear this but make your draft/submission as easy as you can for a reader to follow. Have a friend or peer read it first, not for specialized meaning, but for follow-ability. I try extremely hard to be a generous reviewer but if I can't tell what you mean, over and over, I can't even offer a constructive critique.
I DO know who needs to hear this: don't fucking set your automated system to remind reviewers about reviews when you're out of the office for another 2+ weeks and will not be monitoring your inbox at all until you return. Why should I have to hurry (over my break) to finish a review no one is there to receive??
