Subject: The Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine is looking for Writers and Reviewers

Dear Ms. Pace,                                                             

We are contacting you on behalf of the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine (YJBM). We are currently soliciting for articles for our December 2012 Issue that focuses Neuroscience. The Journal strives to be a forum for young scientists to publish original contributions and review articles in their area of expertise. Additionally, we aim to provide young scientists with invaluable experience in the world of scientific writing and
publishing.                                                                

YJBM is an open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal indexed on PubMed.
We do not charge any publication fees. We publish many types of articles
including: original research articles, scientific reviews, articles on medical history, personal perspectives on medicine, policy analyses, case reports, and symposia related to biomedical matters. Notable past contributors include Harvey Cushing, Albert Sabin, Dorothy Horstmann,
Edward Kennedy, Jack Strominger, and Rene Dubos.                           

The Journal was founded on the philosophy that it would serve as a learning tool for students to learn the ins-and-outs of scientific writing and to experience the process of publishing an article before students left school and joined the world of academia as mature scientists and medical researchers. We are still working by this philosophy and we are currently soliciting articles written by students. We hope by collaborating with you we could offer more students the opportunity to learn how to improve their writing skills such that they could publish their work on PubMed.

You can learn more about us by visiting our website at www.yale.edu/yjbm.
Kindly distribute this invitation to students and postdoctoral fellows to
write articles for our December 2012 Issue focusing on Neuroscience.       

Sincerely,
