Prodding Tardy Reviewers

Prodding tardy reviewers: a randomized comparison of telephone, fax, and e-mail.

CONTEXT To compare telephone, fax, and e-mail methods of prodding tardy reviewers. METHODS Randomized trial conducted January 1998 through June 1999 at the main editorial office of Obstetrics & Gynecology. Reviewers who had failed to file reviews by 28 days after being sent manuscripts (7 days after deadline) were sent identical messages in oral (telephone) or written (fax and e-mail) form in...

On n-tardy sets

Harrington and Soare introduced the notion of an n-tardy set. They showed that there is a nonempty E property Q(A) such that if Q(A) then A is 2tardy. Since they also showed no 2-tardy set is complete, Harrington and Soare showed that there exists an orbit of computably enumerable sets such that every set in that orbit is incomplete. Our study of n-tardy sets takes off from where Harrington and...

Residue Classes Having Tardy Totients

We show, in an effective way, that there exists a sequence of congruence classes ak (mod mk) such that the minimal solution n = nk of the congruence φ(n) ≡ ak (mod mk) exists and satisfies log nk/ logmk → ∞ as k → ∞. Here, φ(n) is the Euler function. This answers a question raised in [3]. We also show that every congruence class containing an even integer contains infinitely many values of the ...
