Hi there,

I am looking for contact informtation for the medical journal titled
"Infectious Disease Practice". The editor-in-chief is Burke A. Cunha,
M.D. and the IDSN # is 0162-6493.  Having trouble locating a website
for the journal and/or publisher.  Can't even find a phone # yet.

NOT REQUIRED, but bonus points if you can also tell me the
circulation, % circulation by country, breakout of who subscribes to
the publication, publishing frequency, and any other tid bits you can
find about the journal.

Thanks!

Dearkc 495,

It took some time and research, but I have finally found the street
address to contact "Infectious Disease Practice". Please let me
explain in detail how I proceeded, so you can be sure it's correct:

I first searched for the journal's name and Dr. Cunha's name, separate
as well as in all possible combinations. When I used the journal's
name with the Google Image Search, I received, much to my surprise, a
useful result: A cash card issued by MBC Publications Inc. for
Infectious Disease Practice, Burke A. Cunha MD [1]
http://moneycard.com/simages/16723.jpg

The address for MBC Publications Inc. on the card reads 126 Brixton
Road, Garden City, NY 11530. However, I had to make sure that this
address is really correct and that MBC is still the publisher of the
journal. This, however, was confirmed by an Amazon subscription offer:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00007KYTH/002-3733545-2284033

Knowing the location of the publisher, I searched the New York
Department of State database of registered companies [2]. And I was
lucky: Among the records of active corporations, I found the entry for
M B C Publications Inc. (note the empty spaces between the MBC
letters). The surprise is that we now even know what "MBC" stands for
- Marie B. Cunha:

M B C PUBLICATIONS INC.
Chairman or Chief Executive Officer:
MARIE B CUNHA
126 BRIXTON RD
GARDEN CITY, NEW YORK, 11530

Principal Executive Office:	
MARIE B CUNHA
126 BRIXTON RD
GARDEN CITY, NEW YORK, 11530

This is the best contact information that is available through online
sources; unfortunately, I have not been able to trace a telephone
number, fax number or website. But at least, this is the correct
contact address both of the publisher and, most likely, also of the
editor-in-chief Burke A. Cunha himself.

I hope that this will be useful!
Regards,
Scriptor
