January, 2010

Happy New Year and welcome to the home page of the Radiology Section Editor of OOOOE.
 
Many members will be aware that as of January 1, 2010, I have been appointed as Radiology Section Editor of Oral Surgery Oral Pathology Oral Medicine Oral Radiology and Endodontology (OOOOE) or Quad OE, the official scientific journal of the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology (AAOMR) published by Elsevier. I would like to thank the previous Editor and current President of the Academy, Prof. Allan G. Farman, for his stewardship of Quad OE over the past 4 years and his support during my transition. While I have been associate editor for 2 years, it will be a sharp learning curve for me and I look forward to the challenge.
 
I wish to take this opportunity to introduce my two Associate Editors, Dr. Charles Hildebolt and Dr. Christos Angelopolous. From my desk, Christos and Charles will be assigned manuscripts to provide primary adjudication and manage the subsequent review process. Both Associate Editors are highly experienced reviewers for OOOOE and Charles has been Associate Editor for numerous years. I am indeed fortunate to have both Christos and Charles as part of the Editorial Team.
 

In conjunction with the new AAOMR website, I have decided to establish an "Editors Corner” to present information to perspective authors and provide updated feedback to authors, reviewers and AAOMR members. As Guided Treatment Associate Editor, I have been in a position to pre-review all papers that have been submitted to me. Based on this and the reviewers' comments, I have provided the authors of specific manuscript submissions with information and comments that would perhaps be of considerable interest to many perspective authors. These include stylistic considerations, statistical direction and comments on the adaptation of presented results towards a more focused issue. So I would like to use this web page to discuss these topics in underlining specific aspects of editorial policy and manuscript submission.

Finally, I seek the support of all interested in Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology in submitting quality submissions for the journal. We have an outstanding international editorial board with a thorough peer review process. I invite and solicit contributions from our colleagues worldwide.
 
Sincerely,
 
William C. Scarfe
