The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics will begin publishing an annual public health-themed issue in conjunction with the 2008 APHA Annual Meeting. The first annual issue containing four public health related articles will be published in this year's July/August edition, which is just in time for the APHA Annual Meeting that will convene at the end of October in San Diego.

When planning your future submissions and publications, please keep in mind that future public health-themed issues will require and welcome public health-themed articles.

Articles to be considered for the 2009 public health-themed issue of JMPT can be submitted throughout this year and should be submitted no later than Feb. 1, 2009. Guidelines for submissions can be found at www.mosby.com/jmpt or by contacting the editor at cjohnson@nuhs.edu.

Please take advantage of this opportunity to disseminate your research and simultaneously draw attention to chiropractic and public health, the APHA Annual Meeting, and the Chiropractic Health Care Section by submitting your research to the special public health issue of the JMPT.

Sincerely,

Claire Johnson, MSEd, DC - JMPT Editor
