2001: Almost a (cyber) Space Odyssey

As the eMJA increases in popularity, we have been working hard towards putting the whole Journal online, rather than just a selection from each issue. We've had to change many of our systems and we're nearly there — keep watching in early 2002.

In the print Journal we have continued our highly successful MJA Practice Essentials series with Neurology and begun a new series, Clinical Ethics. We have also published an exhaustive series on the current status of evidence-based medicine in Australia, three supplements (SPHERE: A National Depression Project, Lipid Management Guidelines 2001, and Managing Arthritis) and three special issues - devoted to the Centenary of Federation, General Practice, and Death and Dying).

The 12 months from 1 July 2000 to 30 June 2001 kept us very busy, with 873 manuscripts (85 more than the year before) and 419 letters (an increase of 44). Our overall acceptance rate for all submissions (including commissioned items) was 59% (accepted after an average of 98 days, which includes the time taken for peer review and revision), but, for research articles, the acceptance rate was only 19%. The average time taken to reach a decision to reject a manuscript was 24 days. May was the most popular month for submissions (148) and December the least (69).

The Journal couldn't function without the assistance of our dedicated reviewers, listed below, to whom we are extremely grateful. Our Content Review Committee works particularly hard — we extend special thanks to two long-serving members, Chris Del Mar and Lindsay Grayson, who will be relinquishing their posts at the end of this year.

Wishing you all the best for the festive season.
