“…Esto sugiere que, dentro de la carrera académica, el interés va guiado hacia la docencia. Esta situación, se ha comenzado a revertir en los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica a partir de políticas de incentivos para formación de investigadores, que se comenzaron a aplicar a principios de la década pasada 1 .…”

“…Although there is a general consensus about the importance of research, a decline in the number of clinical academics active in research has been observed in some countries [2,3]. Academic researchers are increasingly concerned about the challenges they face, such as the lack of protected time for research [4,5] or long duration of training at relatively low wages [6]. On the other hand, results of recent studies suggest that research is still an important motivating factor in medical careers.…”

“…A systematic review has identified the desire to do research as a key incentive to enter and stay in academic medicine [7]. Another study reported a progressively larger fraction of medical students and graduates who expressed serious interest in research careers [6]. Our research group showed that teaching research methodology is associated with increase in positive attitudes towards science among medical students [8], and that among family medicine practitioners there was a positive association between attitude toward science and opinion of research methodology training as a mandatory part of the medical curriculum [9].…”

“…The physician-scientist has always represented a substantial component of the physician community in this most intellectually challenging of subspecialties and is the source of the fuel that drives a journal such as JASN: investigator-initiated original research. There has been some encouraging recent progress in this area (8). However, plagued now by impossibly competitive federal research grant pay lines that now dip below 10% in some areas, mounting bureaucracy in the form of institutional review board and animal care requirements, faculty effort certification demands in the face of federal prosecutors' threatening fraud charges, and low pay and insecure career opportunities that are too often grant dependent, the "best and the brightest," very understandably, often find research careers unattractive.…”

, JASN will come under the direction of a new editor-in-chief, Dr. Eric Neilson, and a new editorial team selected by him. Reflecting that changeover, next month JASN will appear in a new style and format with new categories, new features, and new directions. It is time for that change. As the current team finishes our 6-year term and relinquishes a responsibility that has been a central part of our professional lives since July 1, 2001, it seems appropriate to record some comments on where we have been and to offer some perspectives on where we are going.First, the data. This editorial team began our term with lots of ideas, plans, and energy (1), and we finish with a great sense of satisfaction with what we have accomplished. Since we published our first issue in January 2002, we have received and reviewed more than 6500 submitted manuscripts, using the online services of Manuscript Central. During our term, annual submissions increased 30% through 2006 and are currently on track to increase another 20% or more this year. Of these more than 6500 manuscripts, more than 1400 were guided through the process of revision and eventually published in JASN, an overall acceptance rate of approximately 22%. Because submissions have risen every year and the size of the journal has been intentionally maintained constant at approximately 300 pages of peer-reviewed material per issue, the acceptance rate has fallen from approximately 30% to the current 20% (14% in the clinical sciences and 24% in the basic science categories). Despite the increase in submissions and workload, our time from acceptance to print publication has fallen dramatically from more than 7 mo in 2001 to less than 3 mo now, and JASN Express, inaugurated in 2004, provides on-line publication of copyedited papers within 6 wk of acceptance.Because the quality of papers that are submitted to JASN has improved, we have been in the fortunate position of being able to set very high standards for the material that we review and publish, particularly in "hot" categories that include clinical trials, DNA array studies, and genetic studies that involve single-nucleotide polymorphisms (2). Studies of basic cell biology and signaling are now rarely reviewed by JASN unless they include in vivo correlates for studies that are done primarily in cell culture. Concomitantly, we have initiated and increased the practice of "triaging," without full review, papers that are deemed by the editor and responsible associate editor not to meet our criteria or to rank in the lower 50% of submissions and therefore unlikely ever to earn a publishable priority score. This practice, although alleviating reviewer "burnout" and helping authors to submit their rejected papers elsewhere quickly, has sometimes discouraged authors, but the increased selectivity has been good for the journal. As competition for space has increased, so has the quality of papers that we are publishing and their impact on the world of renal science.The origin of the published contents of JASN was global in 2001...
