Family medicine
-
Although it is important to medical school faculty that they publish articles, little has been done to study the process of submitting manuscripts to journals. Specifically, the authors of this study surveyed authors in nine journals read by family medicine teachers to see if their published articles previously had been rejected by other journals. ⋯ Overall, 11% of the articles published in the eight other journals in the study previously had been rejected by NEJM. It might be interesting for an author whose manuscript is rejected to know the rates of rejection and publication of various journals.
