Dear ISMICS Member,

John L. Knight, MD

Ralph J. Damiano, Jr., MD

This decision to include the journal in MEDLINE is reflective of the quality of our journal and will allow us to continue to improve and expand its content.

Please consider Innovations for your original articles, case reports, “how-to-do-it” and review articles. We guarantee a rapid and through review process and a short time to publication for accepted articles. Editorial Manger, our online submission and review system, can be accessed at www.editorialmanager.com/innov. Remember to bookmark the Innovations website at www.journals.lww.com/innovjournal.

We sincerely thank those of you who have submitted to Innovations in the past, as the support of the ISMICS membership was critical in achieving this milestone. We are also pleased to confirm that all back content from the journal will be included in MEDLINE, searchable by both author name and title subject words. Innovations will begin pulling on MEDLINE searches in the near future.

If you have any questions, feedback or suggestions for improvement, please feel free to e-mail either Managing Editor, Carol Blasberg blasbergc@wustl.edu or our Editor, Ralph Damiano, damianor@wustl.edu.

Sincerely yours,
