| Popis: | Last year the State of the Journal editorial reviewed the progress of the Journal of Perinatology (J Perinatol) over the past 5 years.1 The major changes that occurred during that period were the change to monthly publication (in 2004) and the dramatic increase in the number of manuscript submissions. In 2007, more than 500 Original Articles, Editorials, Reviews and other manuscripts were received for consideration of publication. This increase in submissions represented 100% growth over the 5 years. In the past year, we have continued to grow at approximately 10% rate, with 583 first submission articles received in 2008 for consideration of publication. We have also evaluated 190 resubmitted revised manuscripts during the past year. As we continue to publish approximately 200 articles per year, I conclude that we are becoming more selective regarding manuscript acceptance. The most common type of manuscript submitted is the Original Article—the product of research involving human studies usually of mothers or infants, but occasionally follow-up studies. In 2008, we completed 288 Original Article reviews and accepted 38% for publication. The next most common manuscript type is the Perinatal/Neonatal case presentation of which we evaluated 158 and accepted 15%. Our goal for 2009 is to continue this growth in submissions while retaining the quality of reviews and relatively short external evaluation period. |
