		"Brief reports" for rapid publishing of short research and clinical notes In this Issue 16 we begin publishing "Brief reports" to quickly present research and clinical results to our readers. Our goal for rapid publishing will be to present papers within 4 months of their submission to the Journal of Gambling Issues. All brief reports will be peer-reviewed. We have designed a new and faster process that requires reviewers to comment within 3 weeks and for authors to submit the next draft within 3 weeks of receiving comments from the reviewer. We invite researchers and clinicians to submit recent analyses for publication as brief reports. Specifications: Submissions must include current research and clinical results written within the last 6 months and not submitted elsewhere. Reports must be 900 words or less in length, including the paper's title; names of authors, their affiliations (one affiliation per author), city, state/province, country; an abstract of 100 words or less; headings and subheadings; one table or one figure (or other graphic); citations; and endnotes (footnotes are discouraged for this section); but not including references, manuscript history, acknowledgements, and all ethical and accountability information (these requirements are the same as for "full-length" research and clinical papers; please see the Submissions section). The manuscript must have double-line spacing, page borders of 1.25 inches on all four sides, and all text in Times New Roman 12-point typeface, including endnotes. The table (or figure or graphic) can be no wider than the equivalent of 4 inches (or 60 characters/letters in Times New Roman 12-point typeface). We welcome your comments and submissions for this section.
