Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools (LSHSS) annually publishes summary statistics of acceptance/rejection rates and manuscript processing times. These summary statistics provide data on acceptance/rejection rates, frequently used by tenure/promotion committees, as well as average manuscript processing times, often of interest to contributing authors.
Tables 1 and 2 show the rates of acceptance and rejection for manuscripts receiving a final decision in 2005 through 2007, regardless of the year the manuscript was submitted originally. Accepted manuscripts are those for which a final decision to accept has been made. Rejected manuscripts are those judged unsuitable for publication and for which no further revision or resubmission has been requested.
Table 1. Accept/reject rate for decisions made 2005-2007, including clinical forums.
| Decision | No. | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Accept | 118 | 51% |
| Reject | 112 | 49% |
| Total | 230 | 100% |
Table 2. Accept/reject rate for decisions made 2005-2007, excluding invited manuscripts.
| Decision | No. | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Accept | 75 | 41% |
| Reject | 106 | 59% |
| Total | 181 | 100% |
Figure 1 presents data for manuscripts that had completed the review process as of year end 2007. The submission-to-decision interval is calculated from the date the editor’s office receives the new or revised manuscript to the date a decision is made on the manuscript.
