Abstract

We read with interest the article by Putman et al where they sought to find a correlation between the day of manuscript submission and "desk rejections."1 Though written in a lighter vein, imploring rheumatology researchers to enjoy their weekends and avoid submitting manuscripts on weekends, it perhaps unwittingly reinforces stereotypes and thereby runs the risk of potentially making light of the editorial process.2-4
