As you may be aware, many journals, including ADC, now have a formal active process of submitting letters to the editor online. This has allowed us to orchestrate a far more robust and timely discussion of articles and there are virtually no time delays or space constraints in publishing electronic letters. However, there are some concerns. Most importantly, ADCs eLetters are NOT indexed by Medline unless they are ultimately published in the print journal. However, if an individual identifies an article through Medline and selects full text PDF in order to read it they can find an eLetter correspondence. Hence, someone who identifies an article through Medline, rather than our website, may not find a reference to the eLetter. This is a particular concern when a topic is controversial. Second, it has been the policy of virtually all journals to give authors the opportunity to respond to letters.
