Cureus December 2020 Newsletter
Hi, As 2020 comes to a close, we would like to thank you for your support during this very difficult year. Publishing and sharing peer-reviewed medical knowledge is more important than ever. We're on pace to publish over 5,600 peer-reviewed articles this year and that number would be zero if not for our dedicated community of authors and peer reviewers. We hope you are staying safe this holiday season! ---- As part of our continued efforts to improve the author experience, we're giving you more control over when peer review ends.
