The Editorial Executive Committee welcomes letters, which should be less than 250 words. Before a decision to publish is made, letters which refer to a published article may be sent to the author for a response. Any letter may be sent to an expert for comment. When letters are published, they are usually accompanied in the same issue by their responses or comments. The Committee screens out discourteous, inaccurate or libellous statements. The letters are sub-edited before publication. Authors are required to declare any conflicts of interest. The Committee's decision on publication is final.
Editor, – I want to let you know how impressed I am with the 'friendliness' of the Australian Prescriber web site. How refreshing to find information freely available and well cross-referenced with appropriate links. I tried to access an article in another well-known Australian medical publication recently and found that I was simply referred to the hard copy edition. Not much use when I'm at the keyboard and needing the information sooner rather than later, and the hard copy is elsewhere!
Keep up the good work. I am sure you are all constantly seeking ways to make things even better. I'm no good at dreaming up 'what should be done' when it comes to web site design and content, but, as with art, I sure know what I like!
