Letter to the editor

Dear Sirs I and my co-authors wish to offer an explanation to the readers for the confusion in the publication and subsequent citation of the above paper. The above paper was accepted for publication in JLO in December 2001. In February 2002, ‘The impact factors of ENT journals’ D. Roy, A. C. Swift, S. H. Zaidi was submitted to Pakistan Journal of Otolaryngology and the above article was cited in the references as follows: Citation analysis of otorhinolaryngology journals D. Roy, Hughes, J., Fenton, J. E., Jones, A. S. (2000) in JLO (under publication) The paper was submitted to Pakistan Journal of Otolaryngology in February 2002 and was printed in March/April 2002 in a Journal issue dated JuneSeptember 2001 because the publication of the issues were behind schedule. I hope this claries the misunderstanding regarding the chronology of dates of publication.
