We are very pleased to announce a new category of articles to be published in AJP:Lung: Rapid
Reports (or speeding bullet).  This
 publication is meant for authors  wishing to communicate new findings 
which could potentially have a major impact on the field. The manuscript
 does not need to tell a complete
story, but must be compelling, innovative and novel. The manuscript may 
contain 4000 to 5000 words and up to 4 figures and/or tables. A decision
 (accept, reject or minor revisions) will be reached within 
approximately 10 days from receipt of the manuscript
by the Editor. If encouraged to revise, authors will be asked to submit 
first revisions 14 days after first decision. A final decision on first 
revisions will be rendered by the editors within approximately 5 days of
 resubmission.
