In the April 2014 issue of Medical Express

Abstract

For our first issue, February, 2014, we now have the data showing that the average interval between submission and first action was 10 days (range 4-24 days). Between acceptance and publication the average interval was 50 days (range: 40-54 days); this is longer than established in our project, mainly because of setup problems incumbent upon a new periodical. With this second issue we are keeping the average interval to first action at 10 days post submission. However, for this issue, we definitely expect to shorten the acceptance to publication interval to circa 35-40 days.
