Dear AJPM reader,
It has been over three years since the AJPM Editorial Office relocated to the University of Michigan and a new journal team came on board. In this issue of the newsletter, we feature the journal’s editorial staff and briefly introduce our readers to the hardworking people behind the scenes who are responsible for manuscripts from submission to publication and ensure timely delivery of a quality product to our readers each month.
The journal’s article composition and content relies heavily on the input of our reviewers but is also underpinned by the expertise of our editors: Deputy Editor William Wadland’s in tobacco control and primary care; Assistant Editor Laura Johnson’s in communicable diseases and infection prevention; and Assistant Editor Angela Beck’s on healthcare and public health systems and services, as examples. Our Associate Editors Robert Wallace of University of Iowa, Patrick Remington of University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Caroline Richardson of University of Michigan edit our supplements, CDC community guides, and theme issues while also often acting as reviewers. Our statistical editors, Ananda Sen and Niko Kaciroti, ensure the journal’s published research meets the highest methodologic and analytic standards.
Our editors, authors, and reviewers are all supported by the teamwork of our editorial staff. Matthew Redding screens initial submissions and addresses authors’ questions; Stacy Wennstrom handles the complexities of the peer review process; and Sara McAdory-Kim works with authors in article revision and resubmission. Accepted papers are processed through Associate Managing Editor Julie Fielding during copy editing. Overseeing the entire editorial process is Managing Editor Jillian Morgan who directs production workflow and the movement of manuscripts from submission to publication.
We hope you enjoy the May issue of AJPM, and please let us know if there are ways that we can make the journal better for you.
Sincerely,
Matthew L. Boulton, MD, MPH
Editor-in-Chief
