LETTER

Notice: Overlapping Publication

15 April 1998 | Volume 128 Issue 8 | Page 698


The Viewpoint article by Drs. Asch and Hershey published in The Lancet [1] overlaps the major point of a letter to the editor previously published in Annals [2] in which the authors present a critique of the article by Glassman and colleagues [3]. The Viewpoint article does not refer to either the letter [2] or the response of Glassman and colleagues to that letter [4].

•Include no more than 300 words of text, three authors, and five references

•Type with double-spacing

•Send three copies of the letter, an authors' form signed by all authors, and a cover letter describing any conflicts of interest related to the contents of the letter.

Letters commenting on an Annals article will be considered if they are received within 6 weeks of the time the article was published. Only some of the letters received can be published. Published letters are edited and may be shortened; tables and figures are included only selectively. Authors will be notified that the letter has been received.
