New facilities provided by the medicine and internet: My first peer-reviewed article October 26, 2007

This is the first serious article I’ve ever published in a peer-reviewed journal (the Hungarian Medical Journal). I wrote it with Attila Dubecz, the surgeon of the Hungarian web 2.0 community, in Google Docs. It’s in Hungarian, but here is the abstract in English:
Bertalan Meskó1 , Attila Dubecz2
The importance of the internet and some new generation services of the web (so-called web 2.0) is exponentially growing. As web 2.0 is based on collaboration, feedback and communities, it can ease the work of physicians. The authors give a short overview of the web 2.0 tools created for physicians. The new tools of web 2.0 can save time for physicians, it makes it easier to share knowledge and experience; and to follow your field of interest. The authors conclude that physicians, medical workers should take control of publishing medical information on the internet.
We talk about medical blogs (with some statistics), blog carnivals, community sites, Google, the medical education in Second Life and many more.

The next step is to publish my scientific results in an international, well-respected journal. A long way to go…
Please….”well respected”……OH _is_ well respected.
Thank you for the valuable comment. The word international has been added to the line…
Congratulations Berci! I wish there was an english version so I could read the rest of it. Nevertheless, I’m sure it’s the first of many publications from you.
Thank you, Walter! I’m really working hard to do so.
I am also working on a dutch article on medical weblogs. And it would be very interesting to read your article. But unfortunately I can not read hungarian. Is there a chance you’re going to translate the article in english?
Jan, I should translate the whole article or write a new in English soon. I’d love to read yours in case it’s written in English.
JMIR (http://www.jmir.org) is a “well-respected” peer-reviewed journal and even has a “Medicine 2.0″ call for papers out there – see http://www.jmir.org/announcement/view/12.
Thank you, Gunther, for the information! I think I have no chance to come up with a whole article before tomorrow.
