2015 and launch of first editorial

Long time since last post here on the blog - my apologies for the vacancy!

As the first post this year I would like to put forward a link to a recently published editorial I wrote for the Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, that reviewed the progress of the Journal over the past few years. This journal has now really grown and is becoming a major stakeholder in Scandinavian acute medicine, providing a vehicle for academic work from the Nordic countries but also globally.
Please go read the full text editorial here.
