Readers and authors of scientific material need and deserve to know how journal editors select and prepare papers for publication. Editors need to keep track of their procedures to avoid delay and ensure that there is always material to publish. This paper presents data on the time taken for the 48 papers published in the Communicable Disease Report Review in 1995 to be processed. The mean time from receipt to publication was five months. All papers were sent out to at least one referee and most to two. This paper describes the editorial process and suggests the adoption of blinded peer review.
科学材料的读者和作者需要且理应知道期刊编辑如何挑选和准备论文以供发表。编辑需要跟踪他们的流程以避免延误，并确保总有材料可供发表。本文给出了1995年发表在《传染病报告评论》上的48篇论文的处理时间数据。从收到稿件到发表的平均时间为五个月。所有论文至少被送交一位审稿人审阅，大多数论文送交了两位审稿人。本文描述了编辑过程，并建议采用盲审同行评议。
