Important News Concerning the Journal of Travel Medicine (JTM)

Availability of JTM on the Web. Current issues as well as recent back issues are now available on-line.  All you need to do is click on the JTM link on the ISTM web page.  For the moment access is free to all, but in the near future you will receive a password, which will be necessary to access the Journal on-line.

New Editor-in-Chief for JTM/New Address for Submissions. The editorship of JTM has moved across the Atlantic. Robert Steffen is the incoming Editor-in Chief. Please send all submissions and other Journal-related matters to him. You may submit papers on-line to jtm@istm.org.  This address will route your submission to the correct office.

It has been my sincere pleasure and honor to have served ISTM as editor of JTM.  I hope all will continue to support JTM and our new, eminently qualified editor.

Regards to all,
Charles Ericsson, MD (Outgoing Editor, JTM)

(Charlie has done an outstanding job in developing JTM into an important medical resource. It is to his credit that the Journal is now indexed in the Index Medicus. Being editor of a medical journal requires a good grasp of language, an in-depth knowledge of the particular scientific field, the ability to handle authors (who may disagree with you), being able to deal with the publisher (who may also disagree with you), and finding the significant amount of time in one’s otherwise busy and hectic schedule to get the publication out to our members. Charlie did it all, and with great style. K.N. Editor, NewsShare.)
