Editing of advertising for publication in Pediatrics begins in the office of the Executive Director, to whom all such copy is regularly submitted. Some advertisements are stopped there as clearly unacceptable; others, considered questionable, are sent to appropriate members of the Editorial Board and to the Editor for additional opinion. These procedures have their effects. Thus, the Executive Director reported to the Editorial Board at its October 25, 1965, meeting that in the 12 months ending June 30, 1965, 25 advertisements were rejected (as compared to 20 during the previous 12 months).

Dear Readers, We are honored to publish the International Journal of Education and Science (IJES), Vol. 3, No. 3, 2020. IJES is an academic periodical peer-reviewed indexed Journal that provides a scientific platform for presenting and discussing new trends and issues in Social and Behavioral Sciences. Since 2018, the Journal has published more than 200 manuscripts, including: Original Research, Review Articles, Brief Reports, Conference Abstracts, Reviews, Letters to the Editor. IJES Editorial Board includes the most authoritative scientists from 14 countries, 5 continents in the fields of Education, Psychology, Economics, Medicine. IJES is presented in 15 international scientometric databases, repositories and search engines: Crossref System, Google Scholar, Kopernio (USA); Publons (New Zealand); Scilit (Switzerland); ROAD (France); Index Copernicus International (Poland), etc. Indexed in the ICI Journals Master List ICV 2019: 80.33. From the second half of 2020, the IJES Editorial Board decided to replace one of the scientific directions of the Journal with another more specialized one (Medicine for Law). This is due, on the one hand, to the need for a certain specialization of the Journal, on the other – allows us to discuss new trends in interdependent areas: Pedagogy – Psychology, Economics – Law, which are included in the Social and Behavioral Sciences. So, from 2021 this international Journal is intended for professionals and researchers in scientific fields: Education, Psychology, Economics, Law. On behalf of the IJES Editorial Board, I personally would like to thank all the members of the Editorial Board who represented the Journal in the field of Medicine during these years. As the Publisher of the IJES, KRPOCH Publishing invited these members of the Editorial Board to continue their cooperation as members of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Science Annals. IJES provides immediate Open Access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. All Articles apply under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0). The Journal publishes Review Articles and Original Research, Letters to the Editor, and Reviews. A total of fourty five manuscripts were submitted for this issue, and each article was subjected to a doubleblind peer review process by reviewers specializing in the relevant field. At the end of the review process, five high quality research papers were selected and accepted for publication in this issue. Accordingly, the purpose of this issue is to enable researchers to share the results of their academic research. The articles discuss various research topics. We would like to thank all the Authors who submitted their manuscripts and to the IJES Editorial Board, which worked on this issue.

This subject was discussed, again, by the Editorial Board at its meeting April 25, 1967. These letters, read at that meeting, thus stand as a further chapter to the references recorded after Dr. Norton's letter. The plan for two journals, suggested by Dr. Rogers, was reconsidered as it has been before. Though they understand the viewpoints of these subscribers (who are obviously not unanimous) the Board voted to continue its present policy selecting material. The correspondence is—at least for the present—closed.

In line with international trends, the SAJEMS editorial board decided to introduce a section in the journal called: Viewpoints, perspectives or letters to the editor.  We solicit submissions to this section that comprise novel concepts, ideas, or even a dialogue with either the editor or an author of an earlier paper either in SAJEMS or elsewhere.  Controversial perspectives are even welcome, as long as they are presented in a constructive manner.

Had the advertisement been referred to the Academy's medical staff or to the Editorial Board, a procedure frequently followed with other advertising material, it would presumably have been rejected. Its appearance was, therefore, as your letter suggests, "an inadvertent slip."

I propose that the editorial board of JRME consider adding a regular department which would be modeled after the “Replications and Refinements” section of the Journal of Social Psychology. Such reports would be limited in length (e.g., 500 or 1000 words) and would refine current techniques or replicate known procedures in order to verify or refute previous findings.

The Editorial Board of Pediatrics considered this idea at its spring 1968 meeting. They concluded that the complexity of modern medicine, the tendency of such examinations to promote rigidity rather than flexibility of the intellect, and the difficulty of sustaining any new program, once launched, were sufficient reasons for a negative answer.

From this issue, Clinical Science will increase its page numbers from an average of 112 to 128 per monthly issue. This welcome change — equivalent to at least two manuscripts — has been ‘forced’ on us by the increasing pressure on space; this has led to an undesirable increase in the delay between acceptance and publication, and to a fall in the proportion of submitted manuscripts we have been able to accept. The change in page numbers will instead permit us now to return to our exceptionally short interval between acceptance and publication of 3–4 months; and at the same time we shall be able not only to accept (as now) those papers requiring little or no revision, but also to offer hope to some of those papers which have raised our interest but come to grief in review because of a major but remediable problem. Our view, doubtless unoriginal, has been that the review process, which is unusually thorough for Clinical Science, involving a specialist editor and two external referees, is most constructive when it helps the evolution of a good paper from an interesting piece of research. Traditionally, the papers in Clinical Science have represented some areas of research more than others. However, this has reflected entirely the pattern of papers submitted to us, rather than any selective interest of the Editorial Board, which numbers up to 35 scientists covering most areas of medical research. Arguably, after the explosion during the last decade of specialist journals, the general journal can look forward to a renaissance in the 1990s, as scientists in apparently different specialities discover that they are interested in the same substances, asking similar questions and developing techniques of mutual benefit to answer these questions. This situation arises from the trend, even among clinical scientists, to recognize the power of research based at the cellular and molecular level to achieve real progress, and at this level the concept of organ-based specialism breaks down. It is perhaps ironic that this journal, for a short while at the end of the 1970s, adopted — and then discarded — the name of Clinical Science and Molecular Medicine, since this title perfectly represents the direction in which clinical science, and therefore Clinical Science, is now progressing.
