Wish pub shows up in the Lancet online daily at 6.30pm today! Longs can rejoice all weekend while the shorts lose sleep.

So 13 years of trial data and analysis in 2700 words??? Lancet makes more sense in every way. Maybe also I prefer this venue as well. Of course my preference is of ZERO importance!!

True, that points in favor of the Lancet.

On the other hand, the circulation of the NEJM is magnitudes higher than Lancet. Also, if you give weight to these numbers, the "impact factor" as of 2020 for NEJM was 91. The impact factor for Lancet was 79.

NEJM is cited more often in scientific literature than any other medical journal, and has the highest Journal Impact Factor (91.245) of all general medical journals (2020 Journal Impact Factor, Journal Citation Reports, Clarivate, 2021).

NEJM comes in first and the Lancet comes in 2nd, but there is a big gap between the two.

NWBO needs that impact factor. They need eyeballs and they need the legitimacy that comes from a NEJM publication. That is why I'm keeping my fingers crossed for NEJM, but realize it could very well be a host of different journals. I'd also be very happy with the Lancet so I'm not against your choice, just have 1a as NEJM and 1b as Lancet.
