Editorial

Abstract

At the first editorial board meeting of 2009, it was decided that the AJNM should strive to publish nine worthwhile articles per issue, and continue to publish two issues per year. Some past issues contained only five articles. Publishing nine articles involves many hours of reviewing and editing, and requires strict adherence to the author guidelines of not exceeding 5000 words and of adhering to the guidelines for references, headings and page layout (please refer to the back cover page). Authors can facilitate reviewers' and editors' tasks, and enhance their chances of getting successfully published, by studying articles published in the AJNM. Articles that have been edited by professional editors do have better chances of getting published sooner than those that require many hours of editing.
