Editor's letter [Medi-Scope : issue 8 editorial]

Abstract

With the final examinations no longer being the Presenting Complaint but rather, now falling under the more appropriate heading Past History, Dr. Ronnie Borg and I are happy to be back in the Editorial Board, again, as Secretary and Editor, respectively. Many new things are being put into effect to improve this publication and hoping that one day it achieves a standard comparable to other well established magazines abroad. We are introducing a cumulative index and a subject index which will aid readers trace specific articles of interest. They shall also provide details of material published so that future authors may have an insight to the topics yearning for attention that they may be subjects for discussion. A Guideline/or Authors is included in an attempt to standardise the presentation of material for publishing. We strongly advice all those who plan to write an article or two to read this section thoroughly before submitting any manuscripts. Material which does not conform to the criteria laid down may be refuted by the Board. Despite all efforts to ensure correctness of the printed articles, errors inevitably appear. We therefore hope to provide space for an Errata Corrigendum. Authors are requested to inform the Editor, in writing, of any misprints appearing in their articles so that these may be drawn, in successive issues, to the readers' attention. The Editorial Board requires more members to help in obtaining advertisements, distribution of the journal, posting of copies and proof-reading. All those who volunteer will be given appropriate remuneration for their time and fruitful efforts. Readers who would like to secure a copy of Medi-Scope each time it is published and to have it mailed (postage free) are to complete a subscription form available, at request, from the Editor. Having said all this I now leave you to our faithful contributors trusting you will find their articles of interest, intuitive and perhaps also of significant clinical value.
