From the Editor
Welcome to MCN’s new website! As the world moves toward internet communication above all other methodologies, Lippincott has taken up the challenge to help its nursing journal readers take full advantage of all that the world wide web has to offer. We have now launched a new and updated website for MCN, and I’m excited to tell you about what we’ll be able to offer! If you subscribe to MCN, you have full access to the website.
When each new issue of MCN is published, I’ll have a message on the site pointing out some of the reasons why the articles were chosen, and some special things about each of the articles to help peak your interest in reading them. I’m also including information about how (and why you’d want to) become a reviewer for MCN ; if you want to add a new educational experience to your bag of professional tricks as a nurse, this could be where you will start. You’ll also be able to find the names of MCN’s current list of peer reviewers, so they will always get the affirmation they deserve for the great job they do in their scholarly reviews of our manuscripts I’m planning to place some links to interesting collections of previously published articles on the site, so that if you’re like to see a whole grouping of what we’ve published on a particular topic like breastfeeding, or kangaroo care, for instance, you can see a grouping of those articles. Since I’m passionate about the idea of nurses publishing in journals, I’ll also have some tips for how you can get an article published. I’ll also post the names of the winners of the MCN Paper of the Year Awards annually, and maybe you’ll be inspired to submit an article and be in the running for that award next year! You’ll probably be interested in knowing what great articles are in the pipeline, already accepted and waiting for publication in MCN, so I’ll also put some titles of the upcoming articles in the next few issues in a section called Coming Soon, to whet your intellectual appetite! If there are announcements, such as Calls for Reviewers, or Calls for Submissions, those will appear on the website as well. If I have accepted a paper which I think is extremely important for practice and needs to be published quickly, I’ll be able to put that on the website before it even comes out in the print version, as “published ahead-of-print”. This website will allow both of us to enjoy MCN even more than we do right now!
There are many options for you with this new website. You can customize the site, save the searches you do for specific topics, and develop collections of articles important to you. You can have RSS feeds, and see which articles are most often downloaded; you can also email articles to colleagues. The new website will allow you to export references to citation manager software for use in an article you are writing, and you can export figures from MCN articles into Power Point. Those are only some of the new features of our website. I encourage all of you to start using all the functions of the new website, and contact me to tell me what you’re thinking, and what your favorite features are. I’m always happy to hear from readers so I can make the journal and website work even better for you, and what features you might enjoy. If I can do what you want, I’ll try to do it! Try out the new features on new website. I think you’ll be as thrilled as I am.
Margaret Comerford Freda, Editor

In This Issue of MCN
January/February 2010’s MCN features two ongoing columns that have expanded their material. Our “Infant Nutrition” column, written by Dr. Karen Morin, will henceforth discuss not only infant nutrition, but also maternal nutrition and issues related to the nutrition of children and be called “Nutrition for the Family”. Our “New Networking” column, developed 10 years ago to cover the multiple nursing listservs on the world wide web which connected nurses and nursing knowledge into a new form of network, will expand now and be called “Health Information Technology”. Much has changed in the world of Information in the past 10 years, and Dr. Patricia McCartney will now be able to keep all of MCN’s readers up on all the most important information about informatics for their practice. Her January/February 2010 column will describe the TIGER project – read it and find out what that means!
Feature Articles in this issue of MCN are very interesting as well! One is about Transmen having babies. We’ve all read about it in the tabloids, but now we’ll have a professional article detailing how nurses can work more professionally with the woman who has had sexual reassignment surgery to become a man (transman) who arrives at L&D ready to have a baby. Another article about a new and different topic is about the recruiting of college age women for oocyte donation, and what they understand about the process. You’ll be interested in what these nurses learned about the college students' perspectives.
