Seizure: One year after a change of Editorship
Previous ArticleAims & Scope/Editorial Board
Next ArticlePostoperative routine EEG correlates with long-term seizure outcome after epilepsy surgery
      After the change of editorship in March 2004, new goals were defined and it is custom to evaluate the results after a year of publishing. Seizure aims to develop as an international journal with a scope of Europe and beyond, with a clinical orientation, fast publication speed and increasing impact.
      In 2005 the impact factor is increased to an “all-time high 1.5”, publication speed increased (on average 22 weeks between submission and the on-line availability of the manuscripts and about 40 weeks until print). The clinical orientation is aimed to cover the wide range of epileptology, from basic research (with clinical implication) via drug trial results or new methods, to psychosocial research.
      The articles in 2005 certainly cover such wide range and can be categorized in 10 basic groups.
