Editorial note
Tobacco Control and Public Health in Eastern Europe over its two year lifespan
Tatiana I. Andreeva
The Editorial Note overviews short history of TCPHEE, its current situation, and future plans. By the end of 2012, five issues have been published including three issues with full-text articles and two with conference proceedings. To date, original articles are the leading publication type (after abstracts), and English is the most frequent language of submissions. Authors originate from eight countries; TCPHEE has a slight majority of women among the authors and a large majority of men in the Editorial Board. Equal number of men and women provided peer-reviews of papers submitted to TCPHEE. Among the full-text manuscripts submitted to TCPHEE, 35% have been accepted. The papers submitted in 2012, if accepted, were published online within about two months after submission. TCPHEE is included in several abstracting systems and journal databases and has been visited by readers from 87 countries. To make interaction with the journal more convenient for both authors and reviewers, editors are going to switch to the online software of the Open Journal System in early 2013.
