Editorial experience at the Journal of Ayub Medical College Abbottabad (JAMC).

Editorship of a scientific journal is a very tough task and demands whole-time efforts to maintain the academic and technical standards of the journal. as publication of research work in standard medical journals is mandatory for appearing in the postgraduate examination,selection for a job,and subsequent promotion,the editors receive a lot of scientific work for possible publication,and they face a lot of pressure for an early publication. the authors demand facilitation for quick publication of their work,and the editors have to look into the standard of the output. keeping a balance between demands and supply is very hard and some times culminates into rejection of or delay in publication of an article,mostly resulting in a complaint from the authors. the editors must not compromise on the standard of their output under any circumstances.
