Informe de los editores, 2012 / Editors’ report, 2012

Los editores de Revista Clínica Española (Rev Clin Esp) informan de su trabajo editorial durante los últimos 12 meses: a) objetivos y consecuciones; b) actividad editorial; y c) objetivos para el año 2013. Durante el año 2012 las modificaciones más relevantes han sido: a) cada manuscrito enviado a los revisores externos ha sido evaluado de forma pormenorizada por el editor responsable, y b) traducción al inglés de los 5 manuscritos con resumen de cada número. Entre el 1 de enero y el 30 de septiembre del 2012 hemos gestionado 457 manuscritos (50 manuscritos/mes), cifra algo superior a la del año 2011 (40,8 manuscritos/mes). Se han aceptado un 27,2% de todos los manuscritos (originales, 13,0%). Hemos cursado 295 solicitudes de revisión a 241 revisores y recibido el 66,1% de las revisiones solicitadas en menos de 2 semanas (tiempo medio de recepción de las revisiones, 11,3 días). El tiempo medio para adoptar una decisión editorial definitiva para todos los manuscritos («aceptado»/«rechazado») ha sido de 23,9 días (31,3 días en 2011; 35,4 días en 2010). Esta cifra ha sido de 29,4 días para los manuscritos originales (9,5 y 12,3 días menos que en 2011 y 2010, respectivamente). El tiempo medio desde la recepción de un manuscrito hasta su publicación on-line ha descendido de 203 días en 2010, a 168 en 2011 y 115 en 2012. En el año 2012, los grupos de trabajo de la Fundación Española de Medicina Interna (FEMI) han publicado 19 manuscritos. Para el año 2013 esperamos que la versión en inglés de Rev Clin Esp sea una realidad, al igual que la digitalización de los contenidos desde 1940 a 1999, pues ya está disponible desde el año 2000. La renovación de las secciones actuales (i.e., conferencia clínica; una imagen para el diagnóstico) pretende, con la colaboración de todos, que nuestra revista sea, cada día, mejor(AU)

The editors of Revista Clínica Española (Rev Clin Esp) inform on their editorial activity during the last 12 months: a) objectives and attainments; b) editorial activity; and c) objectives for 2013. In 2012 the most relevant modifications concerning the editorial activity have been: a) revision by the responsible editor of all manuscripts sent to peer review, and b) translation into English of five manuscripts with abstract of each issue. From the first January to the 30th September 2012 we handled 457 manuscripts (50 manuscripts per month) a figure 22.5% higher than in 2011 (40.8 manuscripts per month). We have accepted 27.2% of all manuscripts (originals, 13.0%). We asked for 295 revisions to 241 reviewers and we have received 66.1% of the revisions asked for in less than two weeks (mean time to receive a revision, 11.3 days). The mean time to adopt an editorial decision for all manuscripts («accept»/«reject») has been 23.9 days (31.3 days in 2011; 35.4 in 2010). This figure has been 29.4 days for the original manuscripts (9.5 and 12.3 days less than in 2011 and 2010, respectively). The mean time taken since a manuscript is received to publication has dropped from 203 days in 2010, 168 in 2011 and 115 in 2012 (less than 3 months). The collaboration with the working groups has reported 19 published manuscripts in 2012. We hope that in 2013 both the English version and the digitalization of Rev Clin Esp from 1940 to 1999 (the journal is already digitalized since 2000) will become a reality. The renewal of the actual sections (i.e., clinical conference, an image for a diagnosis) pretends, with the collaboration of all, to make our journal, each day, better(AU)
