Letter from the Editors of Developmental Neurorehabilitation: State of the Journal Report

Purpose: This editorial provides a brief history of the journal Developmental Neurorehabilitation and describes changes occurring as the journal transitions from Informa Health Care to Taylor & Francis publishing company. The changes described include (a) revised and expanded description of the journal's aims and scope; (b) addition of 10 new positions for editorial board members; and (c) improved manuscript submission procedures. These improvements are possible and necessary given the journal's increased rate of submissions. The journal's impact factor (2.506), ranking in the field of rehabilitation, and decreasing percentage of submissions accepted for publication are discussed. Conclusion: The state of the journal is good and continuing to improve.
