It is not me, it is the hard work of the authors that make for a good Newsletter.
BTW, all you potential authors:
I added 8 more pages to the March issue. At this rate, the backlog of papers in the queue will be exhausted soon. I would be very happy if you folks would send me manuscripts for CPN. They can be pointy-headed science stuff; level-headed conservation stuff, travelogues, field observations, etc.; or flat-headed opinion pieces. I guess we could do without the empty-headed BS.
In any event, I will be happy to work with anyone that wants to submit a contribution.

Hi Bob,
It might be not the best place to talk about it but how long is the average delay beween the submission of a paper and the printing? I do know it depends on the nature of the paper and the revision that might be required but I was just curious.
Thanks for you reply,
All the best,
François.

François, you are correct. The time between manuscript submission and printing depends on a number of factors. ICPS policy is to print new cultivar and species descriptions in the next issue, assuming the manuscript is submitted in time and the author is responsive to technical and editorial questions. Short contributions are generally quicker than long ones because I can usually squeeze them in as fillers. Technical peer review articles depend on the responsiveness of reviewers and authors.
That said, I presently have enough completed articles for the June and September issues, but will be running short there after. I try to balance each issue with technical and general interest articles, if available. Over the past several years, we had a couple contributions that took over two years to print for various reasons. However, presently, the time from submission to print should be from six months to a year, depending on the factors described above.
