In order to meet a page limit, the author had left out some auxiliary results that he had previously published in a Russian-language journal that was not available online. I recommended the paper be accepted only if the editors granted an extra 2-3 pages to allow those results to be included. The editors accepted my suggestion and waived the page limit. | |

Journals definitely would not advertise having a lenient policy after revision and would probably have to change it if it became widely known. However, I could imagine that they simply are not too worried about it as long as people do not seem to abuse it. | |

All the horrible authors, who submit drafts instead of finished manuscripts anyway, would intentionally leave out important details or scale down their figures ridiculously just to meet the word limit. | |

I would imagine other academics might find themselves in a similar situation and some general advice might be useful, even if the specific journal policies may vary. | |
