News from the Board of Editors of UiM/EJU

Dear Readers,

Another successful and eventful year for UiM/EJU is drawing to a close. We are happy to report that the number of manuscript submissions continues to be very high, thus allowing us to publish only the best and highest quality papers and resulting in our excellent Impact Factor of 4.389 (IF 2017 as published in June 2018). UiM/EJU is greatly indebted to all of the people who contribute to the journal’s ongoing success, including our authors and reviewers, affiliated ultrasound societies and last but not least, you, our loyal readers. The Board of Editors ensures the scientific quality of the journal’s articles and we are very pleased that four recognized ultrasound experts have joined the board since the end of last year, namely Vito Cantisani (Rome), Rabih Chaoui (Berlin), Stefan Meng (Vienna) and Uwe Walter (Rostock). Vito Cantisani is the board’s new EFSUMB representative as the successor to Michael Bachmann Nielsen, who is continuing his work for the journal as a regular editor. The following provides a short introduction to our new editors.
