Info

This letter was rejected by the Medical Journal of Australia on 12th August 2003.

The response was “Many thanks for your recent contribution to the Journal. Your manuscript was discussed at the Editorial Committee Meeting and unfortunately the outcome was that we would not proceed with peer review or publication. As you are probably aware, the competition for space in the journal is now particularly fierce and we have to, by necessity, reject many deserving articles. We are sorry to disappoint you and hope you are successful in securing publication elsewhere. With kind regards, Dr. Ann T Gregory, Deputy Editor”
