New editor says NEJM’s mission won’t change, but its execution will
In his first piece as editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Eric Rubin leads with a joke: An international search for a successor to Dr. Jeffrey Drazen found him 100 yards away. Rubin, a Harvard infectious disease doctor and researcher, said despite his familiarity — he’s been an associate editor since 2012 — change is coming.
What is your mission?
I think our mission isn’t just to publish a journal, it’s to be communicators. How communication can happen in the future, I don’t really know, but it’s less and less likely to be simply a print publication.
What prompted you to join the journal in 2012?
I showed up to one of the editorial meetings. It’s an incredibly learned, interesting, funny discussion about the merits that can be very far-ranging. There was no question after I went to that meeting that is something that I want to do.
