► "[A] new peer-reviewed journal [about pathogens and immunity] has a unique author-friendly mandate: to reduce the submission process to a matter of minutes, and initial reviews to just a few days," Jon Cohen reported today.
There's no shortage of places to publish original research papers about pathogens and immunity, but a new peer-reviewed journal on those topics has a unique author-friendly mandate: to reduce the submission process to a matter of minutes, and initial reviews to just a few days.
The most common comments (n = 6) were regarding the frequency of shadowing, to increase the total number of shadowing weeks (HP-2), or re-submission after the feedback to observe improvement on the same material (LP-7, LP-8, LP-33); or more shadowing opportunities to reduce the pressure per submission (HP-16, LP-35).
One potential solution would be increased use of spot sputums, sputum induction and, at the hospital, real time microscopy to reduce the loss between submission and diagnosis.

Actress Miranda Richardson, chair of the judges, said it was a "daunting" task to reduce the list of submissions from over 140 to 20 books.
But many researchers fear that the absence of peer review will reduce the quality of submissions and force readers to wade through electronic mounds of poor-quality results in search of tidbits of worthwhile science.
Why few UK journals and even fewer Italian journals provide authors with adequate guidance on the scientific content of papers is unknown: they may trust authors and peer reviewers to handle the issues, they may ignore the issues entirely, or they may believe that setting high standards will reduce the number of submissions [9].
Investigation of clinical diagnosis decision support systems is necessary to determine whether it is possible to reduce the number of submissions for which a diagnosis is not reached.
Pre-Award LiaiSpecialistss (Pare) Core Speciassignedre assigned to proposals in the early stages of grant development to reduce the administrative burden of the submission process, enabling faculty, students and Duke University Health System (DUHS) nurses to focus on the science of the project.
Jerry del Missier, who resigned after telling subordinates to reduce the bank's Libor submission during the October 2008 banking crisis, was reported to have been handed £8.75m cash as part of his leaving package.
