At the 5 th PVRI AGM in Panama City, February 2011, it was decided that flagship journal PVRI Review would restrict itself to publication on a bi-annual basis. PVRI Review has been assigned a new role as the official newsletter of the PVRI. The content of the journal was altered to reflect a more PVRI-centric focus, whilst allowing original research articles and review articles the possibility of publication in Pulmonary Circulation. In addition to publishing all activities of the PVRI, PVRI Review also functions as a medium to publish perspectives, hypotheses, commentaries, overviews etc. At printing, PVRI Review has published two journals for 2011, both of which are open access available on the website www.pvrireview.org, as well as in print form. PVRI Fellows and members receive a free printed copy of the journal, and subscription to the print form can be requested on the PVRI Review website.
With the shift in content, PVRI Review has published the PVRI Annual Report 2011, a report on the 4 day PVRI Panama conference, few review articles, commentaries and an interview with the PVRI Pediatric Taskforce on its work towards a new diagnostic classification for pediatric pulmonary hypertension. The journal continues to be well received and is settling into its new role.
However, the content is not the only change within PVRI Review. The Publication Taskforce announced in late 2011 with regret that Dr. Harikrishnan will step down from his function as Editor-in-Chief of PVRI Review for the next year. The PVRI Review Board are very grateful for his tireless dedication, quality contributions and excellent work which has seen the PVRI Review blossom from its inception in January 2009 to the strong biannual non-peer reviewed voice of the PVRI. PVRI Review is embracing a new, more interactive model of management, which will see a far stronger presence of the Editorial Board, whilst the position of Editor-in-Chief will be opened anew each year for a nominated member of the Board. The convergence of this new board will be announced at the Annual General Meeting in Cape Town, 2012.
Dr. Harikrishnan has agreed to stay on in an assisting role for the first year, and the PVRI Review Editorial Board will consider applications from PVRI Fellows or members with experience in the world of scientific publishing and an interest in and enthusiasm for the execution of PVRI Review.
