A Year in Review - 2009

back to Dec 09 Issue

James Demetrious, DC, FACO
Editor, Journal of the Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedists

With the advent of 2009, the Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedists endeavored to improve and expand its services to its members. The development of our new journal format represents a small part of the many projects undertaken this past year.

It has been my honor to serve as Editor of the Journal of the Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedists over the past year. I greatly appreciate the opportunity given to me by the Academy and Bruce Gundersen, DC, FACO, our JACO Editor in Chief, to work on behalf of our members in this manner. In 2010, I will be stepping down as editor and will continue to work on behalf of the journal as an Editorial Review Board member once again.

The upcoming year is important. We have much work to perform to elevate the Academy, chiropractic orthopedics and our great profession to even higher levels of societal acceptance and utilization. Continued work is needed to improve upon our journal:

• We are now approved for indexing by Google Scholar. Past articles need to be submitted for indexing.
• Qualified editor and committee member nominations are always welcome.
• As always, the life blood of any journal is the submission of original manuscripts. Please write and submit your instructive cases and share your work with your colleagues.

On behalf of the Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedists,

Thank you.
