The JAMA Peer Review Report for 2002
2003
W E HEREBY THANK THE 3443 PEER REVIEWERS WHO completed JAMA manuscript reviews in 2002 and whose names appear on pages 763-776. In 2002, it took an average of 36 calendar days from manuscript receipt to rejection, 124 days from receipt to acceptance, and 178 days from receipt to publication. A mean of 21 days was required for peer review; each reviewer handled an average of 2 manuscripts. Forty-five percent of the 4615 manuscripts we received were sent for external peer review. Fifty-three percent of manuscripts were rejected without external review. Two percent of accepted manuscripts (mostly invited editorials) did not have external review. The total acceptance rate for manuscripts in 2002 was 11%, and the acceptance rate for unsolicited manuscripts was 7%.
