Time Lapses in Information Dissemination: Research Laboratory to Physician's Office

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

To illustrate the extent of time lags from manuscript submission to journal publication certain “core” journals in neurology and general medicine have been surveyed. The clinical journals experience less time lag, but more of a problem with backlogs of manuscripts, than basic research journals. Most editors of the journals surveyed cited the following as the major causes for publication delay: failure of authors to follow journal requirements, slowness of editorial and referee reviews, and author revisions.
