Abstract

A discovery is meaningless if the findings are not published in a scientific or medical journal. Publishing in a journal is not an easy process. There are a limited number of medical journals, and the number of the many articles submitted for consideration for publication far exceeds the journal space available. It has been stated that less than 5% of articles submitted are published and more than 95% are rejected. There is just not enough space to accommodate all the articles that are submitted. On the other hand, there is tremendous pressure to publish. Publish or perish is a well-known fact. Unfortunately, a substantial amount of research just does not get published.
