|
| The Current Reports journals were developed out
of the recognition that specialists have increasing difficulty keeping
up to date with the expanding volume of information published in
their fields. Current Hepatitis Reports provides in a systematic manner: |
|
| 1. |
|
the views of experts on current advances in
hepatitis
in a clear and readable form; |
|
| 2. |
|
selections of the most important papers from the
great wealth of original publications, annotated by experts |
| Division of the subject into sections |
|
|
|
| The subject of hepatitis
is divided into 4 major
sections, each of which is reviewed once a year. Each issue contains
two of the major sections, and the amount of space devoted to each
section is related to its importance. |
|
| Selection of topics to be reviewed |
|
|
|
| Section Editors, who are major authorities in the
field, are appointed by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal. They
divide their section into a number of topics, ensuring that the
field is comprehensively covered and that all issues of current
importance are emphasized. Section Editors commission reviews from
authorities on each topic that they have selected. |
|
| Reviews |
|
|
|
| Authors write short reviews in which they present
recent developments in their subject, emphasizing the aspects that
are most significant. In addition, they provide short annotations
to the papers that they consider to be of the most importance from
all those published in their topic over the previous year. Papers
chosen by a reviewer as being “of importance” or “of
major importance” are clearly identified in the reference list
at the end of each review. |
|
| Invited commentary |
|
|
|
| The Editor-in-Chief chooses a well-known figure
in the field to contribute a brief commentary to accompany each
issue. This commentary may be on any subject in the field of
hepatitis
of interest to the writer. |
|
| Review of clinical trials |
|
|
|
| Section Editors write a short review of a few recently
published clinical trials relevant to their section to draw the
reader’s attention to any very new developments not covered
by the reviews. |
|
| Literature alert |
|
|
|
| Experts select a number of especially noteworthy
papers published in the major hepatitis
journals in the two months
before an issue goes to press, provide an explanation for why they
find each paper to be particularly important, and give a very brief
summary of the paper’s content. |
|
| Web alert |
|
|
|
| Experts select a number of World Wide Web sites
relevant to the field of hepatitis.
The brief synopses that accompany
each site include a description of the contents of the site and
why it is worthy of perusal. |
