>> Subject: Update and Let s Go!!!!
>>
>> Date: January 22, 1999
>>
>> The SOPHE Board of Trustees gave the go ahead for its new practice
>>journal, Health Promotion Practice, at its annual meeting in
>>Washington, D.C. on November 13, 1998. The Board gave its approval to
>>completing the contract negotiations with the publisher , SAGE
>>Periodicals Press; the roster of Associate Editors; and the Editor . I
>>am pleased to inform you that we have signed the contract with SAGE
>>Periodical Press and are now ready to go full steam ahead to produce a
>>great new journal for field of health promotion and education.
>>We have a big job ahead and need to get on the fast track for the first
>>issue (due to the publisher in June) and for subsequent issues due
>>quarterly. Each issue will include a combination of feature articles
>>(submitted, reviewed manuscripts) and department contributions. The
>>preliminary publication schedule for the departments, each headed by one
>>or more of the Associate Editors, (pending final consultation with the
>>publisher) is as follows: (Note: some of the department names are
>>changing, but the subject matter will be staying the same):
>>Each Issue:
>>. Tools of the Trade
>>. Evaluation in Practice
>>. The Circle of Research and Practice
>>. Health Education in Health Care Settings
>>Book and Media Reviews
>>Career Development
>>Issues 1 and 3:
>>. Closing The Gap, Eliminating Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health
>>
>>Issues 2 and 4
>>. Policy and Politics
>>
>> I want to put in a strong pitch for all in SOPHE leadership roles at
>>National and chapter levels to help spread the word to your colleagues to
>>generate manuscript submissions in the immediate future. This is
>>critical if we are to accomplish the goals for the first several issues
>>of Volume 1 and beyond. We will also be able to provide informational
>>materials to you for distribution at local or national conferences,
>> publication in newsletters, or other channels for distribution. A copy
>>of the Guidelines for Authors is attached for your information and
>>distribution.
>>
>>A measure of success to the publisher will be the number of
>>institutional subscriptions to the journal. If you have the ability to
>>influence institutional purchases through academic libraries, medical
>>centers or your own department budgets, please help by facilitating the
>>purchase of such subscriptions.
>>
>>I also invite you to work with the Associate Editors in nurturing
>>articles with potential contributors from concept to fruition. The
>>Associate Editors have strongly agreed with that role as part of their
>>responsibilities. A list of the Associate Editors is attached for your
>>information. Please feel free to contact any of them or me for
>>assistance in developing manuscripts. We also will be featuring special
>>sessions at the SOPHE Midyear and Annual Meetings on writing for
>publication.
>>
>> SAGE Periodicals Press and I will be forwarding promotional materials,
>>guidelines for authors and other materials as soon as each piece is
>>finalized and made available.
>>
>>So:
>>1) Spread the word and stimulate submissions;
>>2) Distribute the Guidelines for Authors to your national and local
>>networks.
>>3) Submit manuscripts yourself for publication.
>>4) Identify potential contributors and connect them with Associate Editors
>>to nurture articles on practice and policy applications and health
>>promotion professional issues.
>>5) Generate institutional subscriptions.
>>
>> We have an exciting but tough job ahead. I look forward to working with
>>you to make this important contribution to health promotion and education
>>practice a success.
>>Please feel free to call or e-mail me with any suggestionscomments
>>or questions.
>> THANK YOU.
