LAUSR

This journal receives many papers on COVID-19 research on mental health difficulties every week and few make it through the editors to receive peer review. At one time this was 80 or 90 submissions a week and now it is a trickle of 30–40. We spend a lot of time wading through them each week and so have decided to provide some advice to researchers interested in this area. This might help submissions pass through our editorial and peer review filters and authors to produce helpful publications on how to deal with mental health of the public during a pandemic.
