We are proudly delivering on our promise to provide fast and efficient peer-review and publication, but we aren't done yet! We'll continue to fine-tune our processes with the goal of even faster and more efficient publication times!

No more reference and author limits for any article types! We've received a lot of requests from authors who wish to add more co-authors or references to their articles so we've removed these limits for authors willing to purchase our Preferred Editing service.

In order to remain eligible for free publication, articles cannot contain more than the following number of authors or references. Exceeding either total will disqualify the article from free publication regardless of how many errors are found during our preliminary review.

• Original articles: 10 authors and 30 references
• Case reports and technical reports: 5 authors and 20 references
• Editorials: 5 authors and 5 references
• All review articles require Preferred Editing regardless of the number of authors or references.

To help our efforts to further freely disperse medical knowledge, Cureus has harnessed the power of social media, to connect with doctors and clinical researchers all over the world. We encourage our authors to interact on our Facebook group - connect with others and share research.

Our growing collection of COVID-19 articles has surpassed 750. You can search by keyword or filter by category to read more about this once-in-generation global health crisis.
