The article presents several letters to the editor referencing various articles and topics discussed in previous issues of the journal "Management Science," including comments on Ralph D. Snyder's paper "A Note on the Location of Depots," comments on the storage reduction scheme proposed in an article by Eugene L. Lawler, and a discussion of the article "Redundant Constraints and Extraneous Variables in Integer Programs," by David Rubin.

The article presents views of the author on Robert Dorfman's article "Report of the Retiring President" published in the April 1966 Bulletin of "Management Science." The number of papers being submitted to "Management Science" is increasing and the Editors-in-Chief have more acceptable papers than they can publish within the constraints set by the total amount of money available. In the past year and for the foreseeable future, the amount of money available for publications is not sufficient to even cover the number of pages of "Management Science" currently projected, much less permit any expansion. The article also consists of several letters to the editor responding to articles published in previous issues, including "Role of the Subconscious in Executive Decision Making," in the June 1967 issue, and "Basic Concepts for a Theory of Organization," also appearing in the June 1967 issue.

The article presents a report of the editor of the "Journal of Health and Social Behavior," a research journal published by the American Sociological Association, on the number of research articles received and published by the journal in 1970-71. The author informs that the journal continues to receive a large number of manuscripts. As a result, less than fifteen percent of the total manuscripts received could be published. Further, the author informs that the journal has made all efforts to encourage more resubmissions, particularly where the author's apparent inexperience with journal article preparation and the reporting of research findings seems to contribute to the referees' initial recommendations. Moreover, the journal has been partly successful in broadening its scope by including articles on welfare. Meanwhile, papers with a social policy orientation and letters to the editor have also increased in number. The author clarifies that the review process has been kept relatively short but occasional articles have taken inexcusably long periods to evaluate.
