• W2067075931 abstract "The Internal Medicine Journal has continued to evolve over 2007, with increasing submissions of high-quality articles from many parts of the world, although the antipodes naturally remains the important source of such submissions. The rejection rate, an ironic measure of quality, continues at a high level. Our published impact factor did not increase this year after the dramatic increase seen last year, but there may be a catch-up phase to come. Our publication is now ranked at 40 of 103 general and internal medicine journals, with an impact factor of 1.402. It may go without saying that the impact factor is the most commonly used measure of the standing of a scientific periodical and is an often-quoted figure in grant applications and curricula vitae. Publishers are increasingly measuring downloads and web accesses to assess interest in particular papers. For our own Journal, it is intriguing how the most frequently downloaded papers do not necessarily have a particularly high citation rate, but more of that later. The goal that I set last year, of further improvement in the impact factor, remains central and will rely on ongoing submission and publication of high-quality work. It is by offering your best work to this publication that this ever-moving target of excellence will continue to be approached. Sadly, I must admit personal failure with regard to the promise I made 12 months ago regarding the proposed Journal podcast. The use of new technologies to highlight the Journal and the work it publishes and to increase its accessibility is an essential part of the move into the future. As I have stated before, the Editorial Board of this Journal works in a voluntary capacity and new initiatives require more time than is sometimes available. Nevertheless, I take full responsibility for this failure and here restate the desire to initiate this process over the coming volume. Let me know what you think when it does actually appear. Exposure of work published in the Journal continues to increase with an exponential increase in downloads of articles every year for the past four. Of papers published in 2006, the most frequently cited article was that by Boyce on the epidemiology of functional gastrointestinal disorders, which appeared in the first issue of last year.1 In contrast, the most read articles (based on online accesses and downloads) were a Clinical Perspectives on irritable bowel syndrome,2 a Review on bronchiectasis3 and another Review on new drugs for the treatment of multiple myeloma.4 Citations and interests do not always correlate. The Journal office is managed by the Journal manager, Virginia Savickis and the editorial administrator, Lorelie Willoughby. We are all aware and in awe of the dedication and quality of work that Virginia has given to the Journal and its predecessor. Our move into the electronic age has been smoothed by the competence and dedication to the running and maintenance of the Manuscript Central interface by Lorelie, and this year I would like to acknowledge her work particularly. She has assisted editors, reviewers and authors in solving problems associated with the new system, and she has run very valuable training sessions for the Editorial Board at several meetings. What of new publishing initiatives by the Journal? We have already seen the arrival of OnlineEarly, whereby selected papers are published online, in a final typeset form much more rapidly than was possible previously. Although the vast majority of authors have been thrilled with the rapidity of publication, an occasional author has been surprised and unprepared for comments and questions from the media, several months before the expected date of publication. Needless to say, we have taken steps to ensure that authors will not be surprised like this in the future. Coming in 2008 is OnlineAccepted. This will further shorten the publication time, such that when a paper is finally accepted for publication, it will appear in submitted manuscript (but not final typeset) form. Many readers will be familiar with this type of online publication from other journals. This initiative gets authors’ work into the public forum (and citable) even more rapidly. During the coming year, you can expect to see the publication of more authoritative therapeutic guidelines, as expert groups see publication in the Journal of such guidelines as adding to their authority. Increasingly, Special Societies are publishing the abstracts of their Annual Scientific Meetings as supplements to the Journal, and I have hopes that this will be extended to more Societies. In the modern publishing world, such supplements can be produced very rapidly and actually appear at the conference in the conference bag, as the permanent record of the scientific component of the meeting and incidentally produce an encouraging publication record, especially for younger investigators. These supplements are permanently available online to all readers. For broader dissemination, in future (beginning in 2008), the title of the published online Supplement will appear in the Table of Contents in the printed journal. Fellows of the College and some other readers will be aware of the governance changes in the College, which have occurred over the past year. I am pleased to say that these ongoing improvements have not affected the running of the Journal, which should continue to evolve with the times. In an era when we all ask ourselves the question ‘why does it have to be so difficult?’ about so much of our professional activity, it is a pleasure to be able to state that such a phrase does not have to be used for the running of this publication. Once again, I remind prospective authors that the only mechanism for submitting manuscripts for publication is through Manuscript Central found at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/imj where you will be able to set up an account for life (if you do not have one already) and submit your work to this Journal. Researchers will be aware of the need to have clinical trials registered before they can be reported. This Journal will not publish reports of any clinical trial that has not been registered, and the Instructions for Authors have been updated to reflect this global trend. The Journal’s disclosure of potential conflicts of interest has been recently added to the Instructions for Authors in accordance with the policy of the College. The Editorial Board itself has undergone some changes in personnel and more are to follow. Ian Norton commenced as Gastroenterology Editor in January 2007, replacing Geoff McCaughan. Marianne Empson commenced as Editor in Immunology and Allergy in July 2007, replacing Denis Wakefield. The subspecialty title was broadened to include ‘Allergy’ at the suggestion of the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy. Both Geoff McCaughan and Denis Wakefield were appointed as Editors in 1991. With their synchronised departures, we acknowledge their timeless commitment to the Journal. Anthony Bell announced his intention to resign as Intensive Care Editor, and communications regarding a replacement are in progress. The Chapter of Addiction Medicine and the Australasian Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine have had discussions with the Journal with regard to potential representation on the Editorial Board. Joe McCormack and Zoltan Endre continue to excel in their roles as Deputy Editors-in-Chief for Australia and New Zealand, respectively. As I have pointed out before, these and the other specialty editors are highly experienced and qualified individuals who give up increasingly precious time to ensure the production of our journal. The Editorial Board meets annually to set direction and study the matters requiring our attention as a group. I hope that the College Board members are aware of all of our thanks for their ongoing efforts. Following this editorial is the list of individuals who were reviewers for submitted manuscripts during 2007. It cannot be stated too often that the task of reviewing requires expertise, experience and dedication. This Journal, like almost all such publications, could not be anywhere near the quality it is without reviewers who give up their time to critique submissions and select and suggest improvements for those that are actually published. Last year, I was rather expansive in my thanks to those of you who have carried out this task. This year, I simply say, ‘thank you and a job well done’! Readers who have not reviewed previously but feel they may have expertise to offer may send their details to the editorial office for forwarding to the appropriate specialty editor. I give my thanks once again to the individuals named below, and I hope to see the list grow annually. Once again, I invite you, the readers, to join us in the Journal for 2008. I look forward to growth in many areas but fundamentally in quality and usefulness." @default.
