Abstract

We are in the era of “publish or perish”. As a medical professional, if we do not have publication under our belt, the career will be stagnant. The publication has become mandatory for academic appointment and ladder. Because of conversion of many clinical centers to an academic institution, academic requirement has increased and this has mounted pressure on clinicians. In recent years the pressure has extended to MJSBH (Medical Journal of Shree Birendra Hospital) also, as there is exponential increase in number of articles submitted. In recent months, the visibility of our journal has increased because of inclusion of our journal into an open access system. This has raised the responsibility of editors and publishers to produce a high quality article1. On the other hand the demand on authors has also raised as they have to submit a quality and well prepared manuscript otherwise it will be rejected. The rejection rate of our journal for year 2012 was 30%, and will increase in coming years.
