STM publisher Elsevier has announced the launch of a new peer reviewed open access journal, Preventive Medicine Reports (PMR).
Preventive Medicine Reports will serve as the sister journal to Preventive Medicine, a leading medical journal founded by Dr. Ernst Wynder in 1972. Continuing the legacy of Preventive Medicine, PMR publishes original, scholarly manuscripts on the science and practice of disease prevention, health promotion, and public health policymaking. It seeks to broaden understanding and perspective on these topics by including a wider selection of geographic and population specific studies.
Preventive Medicine Reports is an international, online-only, open access journal soliciting papers, especially individual or meeting reports and other papers that have a subspecialty angle or a methodological focus, which are technically and scientifically sound. Submissions that have been considered for Preventive Medicine may also be considered for publication in Preventive Medicine Reports. Reviews may be transferred at the author's request. The journal's mission is to provide access to regional or international research, health data, and policy that may not otherwise be accessible in traditional public health or medical journals.
First published papers are available online on ScienceDirect.
In a related announcement, Elsevier announced the launch of another new journal - Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research. Published as an open access journal and adding to Elsevier's Analytical Chemistry portfolio of journals, Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research will publish reviews and papers which describe important new concepts or provide important insights into the practical application, manufacture and commercialisation of bio-sensing and sensing technologies. The journal has also been appointed as one of the supporting journals of the upcoming 4th International Conference on Bio-Sensing Technology which will be held in Lisbon, 10 - 13 May 2015.
