Editorial 2006

ARTICLE

Another year passes and it is with great pleasure that I can report that it has again been most successful for the European Journal of Dermatology. A warm thank you to all the Board Members who work so hard at both encouraging their colleagues and contacts to submit interesting and informative articles and in the reviewing of submissions.

At the recent Board Meeting in London, UK, we were pleased to be able to report that the impact factor continues to improve, as does the total number of submissions compared to previous years [1]. The journal attracts 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. 2006 sees the introduction of on-line submission, at the address : http://libbey.fontismedia.com/ejd/.

The free EJD electronic newsletter now has over 700 subscribers 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 2006.
