Forum for Nordic Dermato-Venereology Nr2,2017 | Page 3

Forum Informs Forum for Nordic Dermato-Venereology is a publication for the dermato-venereo­logists in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. It is published by Society for Publica- tion of Acta Dermato-Venereologica. Forum for Nordic Dermato-Venereology was founded in 1996 by Professor Lennart Juhlin, Uppsala, Sweden. This journal aims to cover all interests of the Nordic dermato-venereologists, to spread information and news and act as the natural way of communication among the Nordic dermato-venereo­logists. Language: English. Submission: To submit your manuscript, please contact your Country Editor (see next page). Figures and photographs should be sent in minimum 300 dpi. Forum for Nordic Dermato-Venereology and Acta Dermato-Venere- ologica – collaboration partners From the start, Forum for Nordic Dermato-Venereology has shared both publisher and Editorial Office with Acta Dermato-Venereologica. However, the Editorial Board and Editors are different, and a change will soon occur regarding the Editor-in-Chief of Acta Dermato-Venereologica. Professor Anders Vahlquist has had this position since 1999 (soon 19 years!) and brilliantly guided the journal through many major developments: e.g. open access, a doubling of the impact factor, changed outfit with a new design of both cover and pdfs, changed appear- ance of the website, and burying the paper version of the journal, to mention a few. He will certainly be missed, expecially by the Editorial Office staff (Editorial Assistant Anna-Maria Andersson and myself) for all our joyful discussions, his kindness, and great enthusiasm. I am sure that the authors will miss his brilliance with suggesting editing of text, making it easier to grasp and more distinctive. He will end his period as of 31 December 2017 and will be succeeded by Professor Artur Schmidtchen, Lund. We warmly welcome Artur and are confident that he will continue the excellent development of ActaDV! Distribution: The distribution covers all dermato-venereologists in the Nordic countries as well as residents abroad, still members of one of the Nordic dermatological societies. The journal is published in February, May, September and November.
