Fast-Track Publication

Papers which the editors feel warrant fast-track publication will be expedited through the publication process. A fast track publication process may be requested by submitting authors in their cover letter if it is believed that the paper could immediately improve clinical practice or public policy. The decision to "fast-track" papers lies with the Editors.
