Concepts section in 2010 to allow investigators to advance their research more quickly [1]. The goals of this section are threefold:(1) to provide a forum for rapid publication of peerreviewed research;(2) to obtain high-level critical reviews from established funded investigators; and (3) to support future grant applications for extramural funding. To meet these goals, this section was open to pilot data as well as novel study concepts to give investigators an opportunity to reach a larger audience with high-risk ideas that had the potential for high impact if carried through to the next step. Not surprisingly, recruiting submissions was initially slower than for our other sections, but eventually those authors who published their work in Research Concepts were enthusiastic and recommended it to others. Anecdotally, authors who published here attributed subsequent grant funding and collaboration to this publication. Others who did not publish in Research Concepts reported uncertainty as to whether the section could provide the desired advancement. As we think about how to improve JMT and serve our readers and authors better, we thought this would be the right time to evaluate the JMT Research Concepts section. We systematically reviewed all submissions to the Research Concepts section during the five-year period from 2014 through 2018 to determine if any extramural funding followed publication. In addition to reviewing all relevant manuscript data included in our electronic editorial manager system, first authors were contacted to determine if there was an association between publication and subsequent grant funding. We specifically inquired about any reference to the manuscript in the grant submission. We considered all forms of extramural funding in our analysis.From 2014 through 2018, the JMT Research Concepts section published eight articles: each was reviewed by a minimum of two previously funded peer reviewers. Time from submission to first decision averaged 14.1 days; 6 manuscripts required one revision and 2 required multiple revisions before publication [2–9]. Institutional affiliation for the first author included 5 manuscripts for the University of Massachusetts, 2 manuscripts for the University of Pennsylvania, and one manuscript for Iowa State University. Five papers focused on the integration of technology and toxicology, while three papers focused on basic science research. Multiple grants were funded related to the accepted manuscripts, including three National Institutes of Health (NIH) career development awards (K08 and K23), acceptance into an institutional KL2 program, and an NIH R21 CounterACT grant. Although 8 manuscripts over 5 years does not seem to be a large number, it is important to remember that JMT is only a quarterly journal and the number of active medical toxicology investigators remains quite small. Although JMT prides itself on a rapid decision to authors, it is a point of pride to see the time to first decision for the Research Concepts section is faster than the average for all submitted manuscripts. This is particularly striking considering these manuscripts require peer review by at least two funded investigators, a level of expertise that is much higher and more difficult to recruit than for our other manuscript submissions. Supporting this “forum for rapid peer review and publication” meets the first goal mentioned by Steve Bird in the inaugural editorial that explained the purpose of this section [1]. Second, learning from the first authors about the many different extramural grants that were awarded to them following their publication in JMT meets the greater NIH benefit mentioned in that same editorial. As scientists we …
