I just don’t know how we can present the data early (on Friday) without jeopardizing the publication via NEJM. Journals typically do not want you to present prior to pub.
I think my paper could have profound implications for patient care and could save lives. Do you have an option for accelerating manuscript review? How do I request it?
For papers meeting basic criteria described here, authors may submit abstracts using the NEJM Rapid Review request form. Due to demand, NEJM is only able to accommodate a small percentage of Rapid Review requests. Standard response time for Rapid Reviews is within two (2) days.
