Criteria for publication include: originality, relevance, reader appeal and controversy. We welcome articles that promote improvement in clinical practice and research, also letters to the Editor, case studies, case reports, clinical practice papers and special reports on professional, educational, economic, ethical and medico-legal issues.

JoRC January 2013

The Editor is trying to increase the number of papers that are submitted by people who do not have English as their first language. For example last year we had very few papers submitted from countries in Europe, apart from the UK - the list of countries is as follows:

The Editor is also trying to increase interest in the Journal from people whose level of English is not that high. One of the initiatives that the Editor is introducing is the possibility for authors to submit a translated version of their paper's abstract into their own language. The translated abstract would appear on-line but not in the printed version of the paper.

The instructions for authors can be found here.

The Editor is looking for a co-ordinator for the Continuing Education papers that are published in the Journal 2-3 times per year. The advert is here and the advert will also be published in issue 1/2013.
