Some Observations and Concerns in the World of Periodicals.

Abstract

One-year production data for the Journal of Allied Health are tabulated for the period ending each August 31. As reported in the Fall 2023 issue, it required sending an invitation to as many as 18 prospective reviewers before a single recipient accepted it. Once on board, 140 individuals agreed to review one or more papers that year. They made especially valuable contributions to the success of the Journal either by finishing assessments or continuing to work on pending manuscripts awaiting a final decision. Meanwhile, a convenient way of describing their immense value is to note the following comments made in an editorial in the January 2024 issue of the American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.
