Summary
Revista Clínica Española achieved its 2014 objectives, publishing 9 issues and increasing its impact factor to 1.314. Editorial processes were streamlined, with a 32.3% acceptance rate and reduced decision times.
Area of Science:
- Medical Journal Editorial Activity
- Scientific Publishing Metrics
- Clinical Research Dissemination
Background:
- Revista Clínica Española (Rev Clin Esp) reports on its editorial operations and performance over the past 12 months.
- Key performance indicators from 2014 are presented, including objective attainment and publication output.
- The journal's impact factor and editorial efficiency metrics are detailed.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline the editorial achievements and operational statistics of Revista Clínica Española for 2014.
- To report on manuscript submission, review, and publication timelines.
- To communicate the journal's 2013 Impact Factor and compare it with previous years.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of editorial activity data from January to December 2014.
- Tracking of manuscript submissions, acceptance rates, and reviewer response times.
- Reporting of journal metrics including Impact Factor and time from submission to online publication.
Main Results:
- All 5 planned objectives for 2014 were met, with 9 issues published and 103% of planned papers included.
- Manuscript submissions slightly decreased to 46.8 per month, with an overall acceptance rate of 32.3% (22.4% for originals).
- The mean time for editorial decisions decreased significantly to 18.3 days, and the time to online publication was 103 days. The 2013 Impact Factor was 1.314.
Conclusions:
- Revista Clínica Española successfully met its editorial objectives in 2014, enhancing publication efficiency.
- The journal demonstrated improved turnaround times for manuscript review and publication.
- The reported Impact Factor indicates a positive trend in the journal's scientific standing and influence.

02:11Reporter Genes
13.9K
Reporter genes are a type of protein-coding gene that are often tagged to a gene of interest. Once inside a target cell, reporter genes usually produce visually identifiable characteristics like fluorescence and luminescence when expressed along with the gene of interest. Thus, reporter genes “report” the presence or absence of genes of interest in an organism, determine the gene expression pattern, or track the physical location of a DNA segment or protein in the cell.

A hand-off report, also known as a change-of-shift report, is a crucial nursing process that ensures the smooth transition of patient care responsibilities between nursing staff.

01:31Proofreading
10.0K
Synthesis of new DNA molecules is carried out by the enzyme DNA polymerase, which adds nucleotides on the daughter strand complementary to the template DNA strand. DNA polymerase has a higher affinity to add the correct base and ensures fidelity during DNA replication. Furthermore, it exhibits proofreading activity during replication, using an exonuclease domain that cuts off incorrect nucleotides from the nascent DNA strand.

01:24Data Reporting and Recording
5.7K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

11.2K
Organisms must balance energy intake with the energy required for growth, maintenance and reproduction. These trade-offs result in a variety of survivorship and reproductive strategies, including semelparity and iteroparity. Semelparous species, like annual plants, have only one reproductive episode in their lifetimes and consequently have short lifespans. Iteroparous species, by contrast, have many reproductive events during their lifetimes but have relatively few offspring. These two...
