Personal perspective: AANS Bulletin's momentum continues: new editor considers peer review, practice survey impact

With this issue, I assume the reins as editor of the AANS Bulletin. I am indebted to James Bean, MD, for his extraordinary efforts in this capacity, as witnessed by review of the recent issues published under his leadership. An important initiative put forth by Dr. Bean and the Bulletin Advisory Board is the establishment of the peer-review portion of the Bulletin. The peer-review mechanism is intended to encourage submissions of hypothesis-driven research relating to issues that affect the practice of neurosurgery.
