the script 'pubmed.sh" downloads the the journals from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK3827/table/pubmedhelp.pubmedhelptable45/ , the 'eignefactors'  from http://www.eigenfactor.org

for each journal , It scans pubmed (starting from year=2000) and get the difference between the date(submitted) and the date(accepted). The code for the java program used to download pubmed is available here: https://github.com/lindenb/jsandbox/blob/master/src/sandbox/PubmedDump.java

Note: pubmed contains some errors: e.g. submitted > accepted (http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=pubmed&id=20591334&retmode=xml) or some dates in the future: ( http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=pubmed&id=12921703&retmode=xml )
