3 Change of Editors and other News from ActaDV As of January 2018, Professor Anders Vahlquist will end his term as Editor-in-Chief of Acta Dermato-Venereolo- gica (ActaDV). He will certainly be missed; firstly, by all of us who have had the joy of working with him, but also for all his good ideas and brilliant suggestions, which have made ActaDV one of the top international journals in the field of dermatology. He has guided the journal through many major developments: open access; a dou- bling of the impact factor; a new design for the journal and website; and, finally, burying the paper version of the journal, to mention only a few. We are grateful for his dedication to ActaDV over the last 19 years, and we wish him a long and happy retirement. Fig. 1 shows a ”timeline” of the journal, starting in 1987 when Editorial Manager Agneta Andersson began working with the Editor-in-Chief of ActaDV, Professor Lennart Juhlin. Professor Artur Schmidtchen, the new Editor-in-Chief, was introduced to readers in an earlier editorial (1). Four Deputy Editors have been appointed; two of them, Professors Lone Skov and Magnus Lindberg, have previously served as Section Editors and are already involved with the work of ActaDV. They were introdu- ced in earlier editorials (2, 3). In addition, we welcome Professors Anette Bygum and Kaisa Tasanen-Määttä as new Deputy Editors. • Dr Bygum is Clinical Professor, Senior Consultant and Head of Research in Dermatology at Odense University Hospital and University of Southern Denmark.
