Health Physics Journal - Software Reviews & Reviewers Needed

[gj_vargo@ccmail.pnl.gov]

          RADSAFERS,
          
          I need your help.  In recent months, the number of Software 
          Reviews contributed to Health Physics - your radiation protection 
          journal - has dropped significantly.  The Software Review section 
          of the journal exists to serve both the expert as well as the 
          potential new user of health physics-related software.  It's a 
          place where health physics software can be objectively discussed 
          and evaluated.  In order for the section to remain effective, it 
          needs regular input from people like you.
          
          Is there a piece of software that you regularly use in your work? 
          Do you want others to know about it?  Is there something that you 
          would like to see improved, added, or changed?
          
          I need reviewers who are willing to take the time to write up 
          their evaluations (anywhere from 1/2 to 2+ typeset pages in 
          length).  I also need suggestions about software that should be 
          reviewed.  The review format is simple - I can send the 
          instructions and templates to you as an attached WordPerfect 
          file.  You can send draft manuscripts to me via the Internet.  
          There's no need to work with a hard copy until the page proofs 
          are done.
          
          Please contact me with your ideas and suggestions.  Most 
          importantly, send me your reviews!  Thanks.
