Res Medica

Abstract

Why should a serious journal be set in such sombre style that it requires real effort to take it up and open it? Is it not possible to produce an attractive, lively appearance which stimulates rather than deadens the reader?

With such questions in mind, a committee sat down to talk over the future of Res Medica last summer. We hope that the answers are evident in this issue. You will have noticed first that the cover has been completely re-designed and we trust that this serves to set the new ‘image’ of our journal. The new format allows us to use double columns which we prefer for both aesthetic and technical reasons.
