Happy New Year! As the first issue of volume 31 thuds onto your mat, we are happy to declare the increase in page numbers a success in every respect. As you know, we have increased our published volume by 25% in order to keep up with the growing number of good quality manuscripts. The flow has continued, and in fact continues to increase. At the same time, after a bit of a hiccup, we have a working website that carries the additional material that usually accompanies brief clinical reports. For those of you thinking of submitting brief clinical reports, this is important because it means that you will no longer have to post out fuller reports or supporting documents. Also, documents posted in this way will be citable publications. (However, it is also important to note that the rules restricting “double publication” apply to such material).
