JOURNAL OF FOOD PROTECTION SCIENTIFIC EDITORS' REPORT VOLUME 76

摘要

Volume 76 of the Journal of Food Protection, published in 2013, contained 2,188 pages and 291 articles, which included 276 research papers (including research notes), and 15 review, general interest, and supplement papers (Table 1). By comparison, Volume 75 published in 2012 contained 2,308 pages and 306 articles, which included 295 research papers (including research notes), and 11 review, general interest, and supplement papers. Thus, Volume 76 contained 15 fewer articles than Volume 75. The average length of time between receipt of manuscripts and their publication remained the same in 2013 compared with 2012. More than 63, 87, and 95% of the manuscripts accepted for publication were in print within 8, 10, and 12 months of submission, respectively. The average time from submission to publication was 8 months. The primary reasons for publication of articles more than 12 months following submission are delays by authors in revising manuscripts, reading proofs, or submitting appropriate paperwork.
