Thanks Willie and Simon.

At the moment, the PNG medical journal is published by the PNG Medical Society.
The
printing was done in Australia but in 2004 the printing was brought to PNG
because it wa too
expensive.

Simon, I like the idea of a medical journal that will cover issues from Pacific
Island countries,
excluding Australia. You can ask our collegues in SI and give us some feed back.
Encourage
others to join our group too so that we can get a feel of their thoughts.

I belive that if the subscription rate is increased to increase the number of
subsribers that
may off set some of the printing costs. That means the PNG Medical Journal has
to be more
attractive, more appealing to ordinary consumers of medical research (eg
clinicians, graduate
students etc) so that they will want to actually read the contents of the
journal. Or increase its
circulation to other countries, institutions, groups, professional societies who
have an
interest in tropical medicine.

I do not know much about how journals generate revenue but I will read around
and get
some ideas for us to discuss.
