Report from EFSUMB Publications Committee

Table of Contents

The Publications Committee has met twice during 2007. The first meeting was held in Copenhagen in April during the annual postgraduate course of the Danish Society. The second meeting was in October at the beginning of the EUROSON meeting in Leipzig. The next day a completely new committee was elected at the Board of Directors meeting, and they did not have a chance to meet until January 2008. The meeting in Leipzig was also David Pilling's last as he resigned from being the Editor of the Newsletter and chairman of the committee. He was thoroughly thanked for all his hard work and commitment.

The EFSUMB website is once again going to be updated both regarding the design and the contents. The design was presented at the BoD meeting in Leipzig. The new website should be up and running when you read this. The Committee will be looking into things to make the website more attractive and so far a case of the month has been introduced.

The Committee was very happy with the increase in Impact Factor for the UiM/EJU. The matter of inclusion of subscription to the UiM/EJU in the registration for EUROSON Congresses has been discussed and there was no information regarding the 2008 and 2009 meetings, but it could take place in 2010 in Copenhagen.

In 2008 the committee will meet in January in Copenhagen as well as in Timisoara during the EUROSON meeting. A meeting in November is also under consideration.
