Abstract
Publication statistics
Publication statistics are of interest (for different reasons) to authors, subscribers and the publisher alike. They also allow the identification of long-term trends relating to the JTT. During 2012, the median length of time required for refereeing research papers was 7 days (interquartile range 1-23). The median length of time between a paper being received and it appearing in print was 35 weeks. The proportion of submitted papers which was accepted for publication was less than 30%.
Bibliometric statistics
Bibliometric statistics are compiled each year by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). The JTT is included in the ISI category ‘Health care sciences and services’ which covers 76 journals. During the year 2011, the median number of articles published by journals in this category was 68 (interquartile range 38-117). The JTT, which published 82 articles, ranked 31st out of 76.
During 2011, the median number of citations to articles published in the 76 journals in the health care sciences category was 1045 (interquartile range 588-2542). The JTT, which was cited 1560 times, was ranked 33rd out of the 76. The ratio between the number of citations and the number of articles published gives the impact factor. The JTT's impact factor was 1.251 and the journal ranked 52nd out of 76.

Acknowledgements
Since the majority of the Journal's referees are overseas, it is our opinion that the very rapid refereeing time (usually less than two weeks) reflects great credit on them. As Editors, we are most grateful to the following reviewers, whether
