At the Dougmar Publishing Group, we focus on the idea of providing a high level of quality and service to authors and readers. Over time, we want to be known for high ethical and publishing standards. To this end, we have established a Publishing Advisory Board. This board is comprised of a cross section of physicians, communication professionals, and medical editors. The primary role of the board will be basic monitoring of the DPG website and journals; offering suggestions to help us improve; and in general supplying an outsider's educated point of view on how we are presenting the company and titles. We do a twice per year call as a group to get updated opinions, comments, and suggestions.
