Comments on the Readership Survey Concerning Bi-Monthly Publication

INTRODUCTION: A readership survey was posted in our monthly newsletter, “Ever Upward”, and sent via email to members of the Aerospace Medical Association and to authors and reviewers of the journal, Aerospace Medicine and Human Performance. The reason for the survey concerned whether to publish 6 times (or perhaps 7) per year instead of 12. There were 403 respondents. Of those who responded, 30% said bimonthly publishing would affect whether they submitted to a journal; 70% said it would not impact their decision. Less than 4% strongly disapproved and 8% disapproved of moving to a bimonthly publication. While 67% were in favor and 20% didn’t care one way or the other. There were many comments and some of those are addressed in the summary.Day PC. Comments on the readership survey concerning bi-monthly publication. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2020; 91(7):608–610.
