Abstract
The new Ethics Series (Woody Moss, Editor). The cover images have been visually engaging and educational. A recent survey found that CJASN is now the most read nephrology journal. We received 10% more manuscripts than last year, yet continuedto provideinitial decisionstoauthors inatimely manner. The time from final acceptance to epublication remains at 3-4 weeks, and the time to print publication was reduced to 3-4 months. The dedicated and conscientious effort of our Editorial Team and reviewers has led to improved quality of science and clarity of presentation, which will continue to be a priority. Technological improvements have been made to enhance the reading experience. Readers now have the ability to read the abstract of cited references by hovering over the reference in an article that is viewed on the CJASN website. A CJASN app will be launched soon that will allow our readers to find and view CJASN articles on handheld devices. Our new publisher, Dartmouth Journal Services, has made submission of figures easier by accepting a wider range of formats, including Powerpoint, and will improve the look and consistency of published figures.
