STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the launch of a new journal, Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders (MSARD) with its first issue publication in January 2012. Published quarterly, complimentary print copies of the advance issue of the journal will be available at the 5th Joint Triennial Congress of the European and American Committees for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis, to take place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, October 19-22, 2011.
Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders is a wide ranging international journal supported by key researchers from all neuroscience domains that focus on Multiple Sclerosis and associated disease of the nervous system. The primary aim of this new journal is the rapid publication of quality original research in the field. Important secondary aims will be timely updates and editorials on important scientific and clinical care advances, controversies in the field, and invited opinion articles from current thought leaders on topical issues.
The journal will be mostly web based with the ultimate aim of web and e-reader only versions, save for institutional subscribers that may wish to have a shelf copy. MSARD will have a journal club, an associated Wiki and Twitter account to create an MS community and include an RSS feed. A special section will be created to provide timely information on key discoveries written for a lay audience- a resource accessible by the public and suited for physicians who wish to provide patients with information.
The first, advance issue of the Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders will be freely available online on SciVerse ScienceDirect and Elsevier Health Advance during the 4th quarter of 2011.
