In July 2002, we started our second 3-year term as the Editors of Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation (NDT). We are pleased to see that a large readership consults the journal, either in its usual paper format or in its more recently introduced electronic format. Important changes in manuscript handling have occurred in the last 2 years, as outlined below. We also give an update on manuscript flow, acceptance rates of submitted articles, hit rates on published articles and the size of NDT issues in 2002. The most important innovation is clearly the creation of an online-only journal by the ERA, named NDT-Educational for Kidney & Blood Pressure Related Disorders (NDT-E; www.ndt-educational.org).
New electronic submission system
In 2001 and 2002, the Editorial Offices in Paris and Ghent have proceeded to a major change in the handling of manuscripts submitted to NDT. Starting in June 2001, we switched progressively to online
