Abstract

Australian Institute of Radiography The Radiographer, 2006, 53 (2): 3 We invite your comments on articles in The Radiographer In recent Editorial comments I have made general calls for radiographers and radiation therapists to put pen to paper and write an article for The Radiographer or to become a reviewer and provide feedback on articles that have been submitted. There has been an increase in both of these areas and I thank those people for their efforts. Journals, especially scientific health journals such as The Radiographer, are meant to provide two-way communication. No article that is written and reviewed is perfect. All articles are open to challenge. An article on recent research or to change clinical practice must challenge current thinking and / or practice. As such, as the editor, I have found that The Radiographer is currently lacking that two-way communication. In the year and half in this role, no one has written to me to challenge, debate or even agree with an article that has been submitted.
