JNS review time

[Guest]

Has anyone else noticed a dramatic increase in 2017 in JNS review time? Before this year it was rare for a paper to take longer than a month and a half to receive a decision, and now it seems to consistently take 2-3 minimum.

Still 100x faster than the red journal but yes.

[Guest]

Yeah, I don't even bother submitting to either the red or white journal anymore. Neither of them have their act together.

[Guest]

erm, what are the red and the white journals?

[Focus]

white is journal of neurosurgery. Its cover is white

red is neurosurgery. its cover is red

[Guest]

which are the good neurosurgery journals, where a student (first author) can look to publish into with fast turnaround?

There aren't any.

red journal only publishes cranial stuff. nothing spine.

Reviving an old thread:

Anyone know of updates? Still 2-3 months for JNS (spine)? 1.5 months? Waiting on a paper and getting antsy... applying next cycle.

BUMP....
