Abstract

This article presents information on the periodical "Sociometry." During the period, June 1, 1963, to May 31, 1964, 168 manuscripts were submitted for the first time, a 33 per cent increase over last year. Of the manuscripts received, 21 were accepted, 110 rejected, 7 returned with encouragement for revision and 29 were in process of review on the concluding date. In addition, 17 papers submitted earlier were accepted for publication. Because of the increase in manuscripts processed, the avenge review period was extended so that most reviews required from two to three months, from submission to first return and a few ran longer. All but two accepted manuscripts were returned to the author for substantial revision before publication. Most papers were published within six months of acceptance and all within nine months. Circulation of "Sociometry" continued to increase, reaching 2,050 for June 1964. Three major problems confronted the editor during the year. Because of the excessively high rejection rate imposed by the ratio of space to manuscripts received, some good work had to be turned down.
