Assistant Chief Editor at AOGS

The position of Assistant Chief Editor at Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica (AOGS) will be vacant as from 1.1.2014 or by agreement after that. This is a 2-year non-renewable appointment at post-doctoral level and was instituted in 2011. It is meant as a position to gain experience of international editorial work and should provide additional and meriting academic experience. The Assistant Chief Editor will work closely with the Chief Editor of the journal and take on a comparable workload as the current national society appointed Associate Editors, but will also learn how to handle daily editorial activities, deal with enquiries to the journal and to the Editorial Office, make decisions, write and procure editorials, produce theme or special issues. The Assistant Chief Editor will deputize for the Chief Editor, work with the Editorial and Production Managers, monitor and help to raise the quality of submissions, and take part in planning editorial board meetings. The Chief Editor will provide guidance and mentoring through close e.mail and telephone contact.

The Assistant Chief Editor will through the journal´s workflow for manuscripts have responsibility for allocating some submitted manuscripts to the Associate Editors and International Editors, but will also process other articles directly in order to get acquainted with peer review and with selecting reviewers, consulting with the Chief Editor when reviewer´s reports are in and editing manuscripts up to final acceptance. Emphasis will be on learning about correct format and scientific English, but also to gain knowledge of the intricate activities surrounding publication of scientific material. Editorial Board meetings are held twice a year.

The Assistant Chief Editor will receive up to DKK 35.000 per year to cover expenses, such as for computer hard- and software, attendance at conferences and meetings and similar, apart from Editorial Board meetings (reimbursed separately).

For anyone with some academic experience after a doctoral fellowship this may be an excellent opportunity to acquire new knowledge and experience, in a good team of editors at AOGS!

First European Spontaneous Preterm Birth Congress

espbc It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us for the First European Spontaneous Preterm Birth Congress in Svendborg, Denmark in May 2014.

Spontaneous preterm labour leading to preterm birth (SPTL & PTB) is one of the major Obstetric Syndromes and the major cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity in the developed world and a huge financial burden on healthcare. The psychosocial costs of PTB are incalculable. The Scientific Committee has prepared a programme which is pragmatic for practicing clinicians as well as those still in training. We have assembled an international panel of speakers who will provide updates on existing problems in the management of SPTL and PTB as well as providing new information on recent developments. - See more at http://www.espbc.eu
