Academic publisher SAGE has announced that it was recently honoured by the editors of Writer's Web Watch with three Annual Awards for Publication Excellence (APEX). The Canadian Pharmacists Journal was recognised in the category of Magazine & Journal Design & Layout, the United European Gastroenterology (UEG) Journal in the category of New Magazines & Journals, and SAGE's podcast series of interviews with leading social scientists, Social Science Bites, in the category of Special Purpose Electronic Media.
APEX awards are given based on excellence in graphic design, editorial content, and overall success by professional communicators. This year, the APEX awards celebrate 25 years of honouring publication excellence.
Celebrating its 145th anniversary in 2013, The Canadian Pharmacists Journal is the oldest continuously-published journal in Canada. At the request of the journal's Executive Editor, SAGE immediately began to redesign the journal based on the needs of the journal readers and the members of the Canadian Pharmacists Association when SAGE began to publish the journal in January of 2013.
In February 2013, United European Gastroenterology partnered with SAGE to launch UEG Journal as UEG's official platform for scientific publication, providing coverage of both translational as well as clinical studies from all fields of gastroenterology.
Social Science Bites is a series of interviews with leading social scientists on different aspects of the social world. The series currently includes freely available interviews with 18 innovative social scientist leaders including Danny Dorling, Stephen Pinker, Daniel Kahneman, and Doreen Massey.
