Abstract: [Abstract]　Based on publication delay under the “COVID-19” context， the study dug into causes for the problem. With comparisons to the time lag between Chinese and English version periodicals and strategies on shortening the publication delays， it was discovered that long publication delays， inadequate solutions， context errors and other problems were typical of some Chinese version medical periodicals. In view of such problems， the paper suggested that Chinese version medical periodicals and even more Chinese version scientific and technological periodicals should develop contingency plans， experiment with social media publication and standardize proofreading procedures.
