ARTICLE
Auteur(s) : Jean THIVOLET
Another year passes and it is with great pleasure that I can
again report that it has been most successful for the European
Journal of Dermatology. The journal has gone from strength to
strength and for this we must particularly thank the co-editors who
work so hard to attract and process articles. A special thank you
this year goes to one of our founder members, Rudi Happle, who
retires from his co-editor role to join the Honorary Board. We wish
him a very happy retirement and hope he will continue to work just
as hard for the EJD now that he has more free time ! A warm
welcome is extended to Michael Hertl, who is taking over the
running of the German co-editor's office.
At the recent Board Meeting in Florence, Italy, we were pleased to
be able to report that the impact factor in 2003 showed an
improvement of almost 20% over the figure for 2002. The number of
article citations rose from 774 to 1000 during the same
period. The journal continues to attract important papers from
countries as diverse as the USA, Korea and Turkey as well as the
countries of Europe. Advances in electronic communication have made
submission and processing of articles ever more easy and rapid. An
EJD electronic newsletter has been created this year and is being
sent out to as many dermatologists as possible, informing them of
the latest published articles. Access to previously published
articles is also simpler on the John Libbey website, which includes
all the EJD articles published from 1997 to the current issue.
To all our readers and authors, the whole world over, I wish an
active and productive 2005.
