Academic publisher SAGE has announced the further growth of its medical publishing programme with the acquisition of Diabetes and Vascular Disease Research (DVDR) from Sherborne Gibbs Limited. The journal is the official journal of the International Society of Diabetes and Vascular Disease Research, and will be published by SAGE from April 2009.
Sherborne Gibbs has elected to end its publishing arrangement with the journal to concentrate on its other primary care titles.
Diabetes and Vascular Disease Research claims to be the first peer-reviewed journal to unite diabetes and vascular disease in a single title, mirroring the growing recognition that diabetes and cardiovascular disease are a single entity. The journal is indexed in Medline and has recently been accepted into the Science Citation Index.
