An Editor’s Award is presented yearly to the AJA editor's choice of the most meritorious single article appearing in the journal during the preceding calendar year. A compilation [PDF] of all awardees since 1970 for all the ASHA journals is now available.
The American Journal of Audiology (AJA) annually publishes summary statistics of acceptance/rejection rates and manuscript processing times. These summary statistics provide data on acceptance/rejection rates, frequently used by tenure/promotion committees, as well as average manuscript processing times, often of interest to contributing authors.
Table 1 shows the rates of acceptance and rejection for manuscripts receiving a final decision in 2005 through 2007, regardless of the year the manuscript was submitted originally. Accepted manuscripts are those for which a final decision to accept has been made. Rejected manuscripts are those judged unsuitable for publication and for which no further revision or resubmission has been requested.
Table 1. Accept/reject rate for decisions made 2005-2007.
| Decision | No. | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Accept | 62 | 67% |
| Reject | 30 | 33% |
| Total | 92 | 100% |
Figure 1 presents data for manuscripts that had completed the review process as of year-end 2007. The submission-to-decision interval is calculated from the date the editor's office receives the new or revised manuscript to the date a decision is made on the manuscript.
