Summary:
"In 2003, during the SARS outbreak, we published our clinical study of patients in Toronto just 30 days after beginning our work (1). In contrast, last year, another paper of ours took 243 days and 4 rejections after first submission to see the light of day (2). Is it time to rethink how we publish and measure the value of medical research?"
