Historical Article[The clinical lesson in the Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde in the last 40 years].
'Lessons of the Week' have been published in Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde since 1928. They consist of a clinical patient demonstration on paper but with the structure and the wording appropriate for a college theater. These lessons are read by three quarters of the journal's readership. They are usually written by senior clinicians.

Historical Article[140 years Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde. 140 volumes: looking back, looking in and looking forward].
The Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde was founded in 1856 when five of the nine medical journal in the Netherlands decided to join hands and launch a new medical weekly (in Dutch). About 800 manuscripts are now submitted each year, most of which are peer reviewed before acceptance. The editorial board consists of about twenty medical specialists who have agreed to carry out the bulk of the peer review for a period of three years each. ⋯ After acceptance, articles are thoroughly scientifically and linguistically edited to ensure that the general medical readership will understand them. About 50% of the accepted papers are published within twenty weeks. In the near future the journal pages will have more illustrations and more coloured ones, educative panels, and a digest of Dutch research published in international journals.

[Editing of articles accepted for publication by the Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde].
The Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde has been publishing medical science in Dutch for 140 years. To bridge the gap between the specialist science and the general medical reader several sections in the accepted papers have to be clarified, simplified and shortened by post acceptance editing. The style and language of the authors is treated with respect. Changes are made if the article does not comply with internationally accepted rules on scientific reporting, if the article can not be understood using currently authoritative general and medical books of reference, and if its language does not comply with generally accepted Dutch rules for grammar and spelling.
