AJNR: Changes for 2010
AJNR is constantly changing, many times thanks to suggestions made by our readers and others by decisions taken by myself and the senior editors. These are some of the changes that will happen this year:
Physics review articles: These have been very difficult to obtain despite due diligence of our two physics consultants. More importantly, they have not performed well and have been read, downloaded and quoted a surprisingly small number of times. For the time being we will discontinue them on regular basis and we are in the process of rethinking what would be best way to bring some … Continue reading >>

This is an indication that the electronic journal is becoming more and more popular. The reference is as follows:

Changing Structure of the ABR Exams and the Effect on Neuroradiology

The American Board of Radiology is radically changing the initial certification and recertification examination process for radiology trainees. Beginning with residents entering training in 2010 the written ABR exam and the oral exam in Louisville will be history. In their place will be two new computer based image rich exams. The first exam (“Core exam”) will be given after 36 months of training and will cover all aspects of radiology … Continue reading >>
