Public health researchers and practitioners seek to expeditiously publish their findings to share them with the scientific and practice communities, thereby informing the public and advancing public health. In this information age, authors benefit from ever-evolving technology that permits electronic submission of papers at portals around the globe. A corollary is that an ever-increasing multitude of papers now arrive at the American Journal of Public Health (AJPH), many of which are only marginally related to public health or fail to meet minimum criteria for scientific and statistical rigor.1,2 Here we explicate our team-based approach to the screening and review of papers submitted to the AJPH, along with the time required for the process to proceed step-by-step from electronic submission by authors to formal online publication by production staff.
