Abstract

The Korean Journal of Anesthesiology (KJA) is beginning EPUB ahead of print (EAOP).EPUB has become a lion in scientific journals.Since the KJA steering committee adopted online publication in 2010, we have published 11 volumes and 3 issues using the traditional "paper publication first, followed by online publication" approach.As an indicator of the low efficiency of that strategy, the publication lag of the KJA has become so long that we have been obliged to consider reform.While the rejection speed is adequate (Table 1), the publication speed has slowed to a crawl (Table 2).We believe that EAOP will increase the publication speed.To explain the jargon of journals, journal publishers rate the efficiency of a journal based on both rejection speed and publication speed.There are three indicators of publication speed: ac-
