The key objective of JAMA is to promote the science and art of medicine and the betterment of the public health.¹ To accomplish this takes an enormous effort and substantial resources from a number of individuals and groups. First, the editors and staff of THE JOURNAL must provide a collegial, constructive, and efficient atmosphere and outlook that is conducive to authors submitting their best manuscripts. Second, the best peer reviewers from all areas of medicine, health care, and biological science must be willing to provide rigorous review and consultation about the relative quality, importance, and accuracy of manuscripts. Third, our editorial and publishing staffs must ensure that the final manuscript can be read and understood by a wide variety of readers. Fourth, THE JOURNAL must be reasonably accessible to clinicians, researchers, other health care professionals, and the general public.
