Dove Medical Press 2017 round up

We've had a great year here at Dove Medical Press, with many of our journals acquiring Impact Factors or increasing in IF ratings. Many thanks to all of our authors, editors, peer reviewers, and, of course, readers, for making this happen. On behalf of the Dove Medical Press team in both the UK and New Zealand, I'd like to wish you all a very happy Christmas and best wishes of the season!
