COVID-19 impacts medical journal submissions
Abstract
The public health crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic critically
shifted the infrastructure of the global health care system (Lai
et al., 2020). The current pandemic has also resulted in an increase
in the number of COVID publications. Indeed, we observed an
increase in Pubmed searches performed on June 12th compared
to July 18th (21,751 vs 32,963 respectively). This finding is consistent with previous literature reports highlighting the increase in
publications in the midst of pandemics (Zhang et al., 2020). Correspondingly, one author (SEJ) noted a significant increase in review
requests received for non-COVID related articles, between March
25 and May 1, 2020, which prompted the query as to whether this
was due to an increase in reviewers declining to review or an
increase in submissions.
