Objective : We analyzed the published and contributed manuscripts of the journal of Oriental Internal Medicine in 2001. Methods : We analysed 120 manuscripts contributed to the editorial board of Journal of Oriental Internal Medicine from January to December 2001. Each manuscript was reviewed by three judges, was reviewed by two editors of the board and who took notes on the coding sheet. The variables of surveying were yes or no of acceptance, total scores, score of each 9 item, the number of writers and institutes, and languages. Statistical methods were used such as descriptive analysis, independent samples t test, ANOVA, multiple composition, multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results : THe odds ratio in vivo, in vitro study for clinical study were 5.15(95% CI 1.93-13.71), and case series or case-control study for case report were 3.78(95% CI, 1.28-11.19) Conclusions : Although in vivo, the in vitro study had more possibility of acceptance to publish than the clinical study, we should identify that these results are assuming high inter-reviewer reliability.
