A
n inauspicious start to 2009, unfortunately. This issue may seem a little thinner
than others we’ve recently published, as 4 articles that were previously
accepted and scheduled for publication in this issue will not appear. We continue to
screen all figures from accepted manuscripts, and we continue to find irregularities.
In several cases, the alterations in the figures led to the discovery of some
fundamental problems with the data. Many of the papers suffered from the same
problems, and this led us to consider whether it was time to revisit some
experimental basics.
Guidelines:
The Editorial Board will only consider letters that we deem relevant and of interest to our readers. We will not post data that have not been subjected to peer review, nor will we post letters that are essentially a reiteration of another letter. All accepted letters will be posted on our website within one week of acceptance. The Editors reserve the right to edit any letter for length, content, and clarity. Authors of all accepted letters will be asked to preview any changes. Authors will be notified by e-mail if their letters were not accepted. As this is a final decision, no appeals will be considered.
Specific requirements: All letters must be 400 words or fewer. You may enter the letter as plain text or HTML, if you wish. The author's name and e-mail address are required, and will be posted with the letter. All possible conflicts of interest must be noted, even if they are not posted. If you wish to include a figure (keep in mind that non-peer-reviewed data will not be posted), please contact the editor directly at editors@the-jci.org.
