Abstract
Submissions to Brain continue to increase in number. The increase has been particularly striking in the last year, up by about 25% compared to the previous year. Although an increasing trend has been evident for the last 10 years, and has no doubt been experienced by other journals, I attribute much of the recent very sharp increase to the online submission facility that has been available to authors since July 2001. Initial difficulties with the new system, referred to in my editorial message last year, have been largely overcome and informal feedback from authors has, with few exceptions, been very positive. When authors experience a problem, help is available either through Lubna Zafar in our Editorial Office, or through the providers of the online facility, ScholarOne. ScholarOne have recently put in place a telephone helpline that operates during European working hours, to complement that already available to those in North America. From July 2001 to July 2002 the Editorial Office ran a parallel system for online and hard copy submissions, which certainly made our task more difficult. But since August 2002, with the cooperation of our authors that we gratefully acknowledge, all submissions are now handled online, including of course the reviewing process and notification of decisions taken.
