The Oxford years - The last of the Quarto!

摘要

The following is an account of my tenure as Editor-in-Chief of Cardiovascular Research, which began in 1983. I took over from Ron Linden, who followed the first editor, Jack Shillingford; I quit after almost 10 years on the 25th anniversary, in 1991. That was 16 years ago and with the passage of time (incredibly rapid) it is hard to come up with very good recollections! - Particularly since I had handed over all the journal files and correspondence to the new team. My only aide-memoire is the nicely bound copy of the 25th volume which was presented to me by the publisher, the BMA. It included a piece by Prof Shillingford on the birth of the Journal, and another by me on the first 25 years.
