Members who have worked hard over the last twelve months to ensure
the continuing success of the European Journal of Dermatology!At
the recent Board Meeting in Paris, France, during the Xth ESDR
meeting, we were able to report an increase in the number of
submissions from a total of 43 countries, from all the continents.
New submitting countries this year included Russia, Malta and the
United Arab Republics. I am also pleased to be able to report that
the impact factor improved again in 2006 and the EJD has moved up
in the rankings of dermatology journals.As announced last year [1]
there have been two major changes for the EJD in 2006. The first
was the introduction from January 1st of online
submission at the address: http://libbey.fontismedia.com/ejd/.
Within the first week we had already received several articles and
I would like to thank the co-editors who have learned to use this
new tool so quickly and successfully.The second change for the
journal was the introduction of a new rubric, ‘correspondence’, in
the March/April issue. Correspondence consists of short reports and
letters to the editor, limited to a maximum of 600 words. This has
enabled us to accept 57 interesting articles in 2006, many of which
we would not previously have had enough space to publish.Finally,
there is a new dedicated site for the
journal:http://www.europeanjournalofdermatology.com.To all our
readers and authors, the whole world over, I wish an active and
productive 2007.
