Another publication- kinda

[hobbitomm]

So, our edition of 'BBC History' magazine comes through the door the other day. I have a quick glance- and notice that in their letters page there's a letter about the 'first plastic surgical operation', dated for 1816. Erm. No.

So, one quick raid of my SCA paper on 16th century (and earlier) surgery later, I'm sending a 'reply to the editor', complete with pictures and reference. I got a mail back saying, 'Excellent. We'll publish it.'

Now, the question is, it's not a peer review journal, so do I include it on my CV?

I'd do so!
It's not peer reviewed, but its repectable due to the BBC umbrella (certainly more so Cosmo or even (shudder) Heat) and you could justify it under the assumption that "communicating medical science concepts to lay-persons" is useful.
E.g you often see Medics on Newsnight etc. explaining new advances, and plastics is an interesting field to the hoi-polloi as they can see the results.

So sez me, whose first paper is still awaiting peer-review (must do osme catch-up posts soon...)
