Abstract:
In the present editorial, the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal explains the
processes by which manuscripts are handled when they are submitted for
publication. Various categories of problem papers are described, and it is
emphasized that the outcome of the review process is not always predictable.
Metrics for measuring paper quality and journal quality are reviewed and
discussed. Arguments are given to the effect that the quality of a paper and
its chances of being selected for publication will be considerably improved
if the authors adopt a philosophy of literate writing and collegial citing.
The detailed meaning of these phrases is discussed with accompanying
examples, including the case of a paper by J. J. Waterston, the publication
of which was delayed for 47 years until the paper was rediscovered by
Rayleigh. (C) 2000 Acoustical Society of America. [S0001-4966(00)05004-0].
