COURSE PRESENTATION
The course is about how to improve the success of scientific medical journals. It looks at what editors should know about the editorial wheel in order to be successful and improve the quality of what they publish and how this affects the journal's impact.
An editor must:

Have a good understanding of the peer review process and models;
