Editorials

The NEHP has a database of editorials for eight journals which is in development. We anticipate uploading the editorials to the website within the next six months. We welcome editorials from other journals to be included as part of this project. At a minimum we need:

  • Inaugural editorial from when the journal was founded;
  • “Good-bye” editorial from the founding editor (if applicable);
  • Inaugural/good-bye editorials from past editors (as available);
  • Other editorials that are significant to the journal’s history; please explain the context.
  • For each editorial that is submitted, we need:
    • The editorial in PDF format;
    • Editor’s name, journal name, editorial title, author of the editorial, year of publication, volume, issue, and pages.
    • 2-5 keywords to be used for indexing.
  • If you would like to submit a complete collection of all editorials from your journal, please contact us to discuss.
