Academic publisher De Gruyter has announced that the recently launched OA publication the Journal of Transition Medicine will join its medicine portfolio. The journal will be published in cooperation with the German Society for Transition Medicine (DGfTM). Dr. Martina Oldhafer of the University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein and Professor Lars Pape, MD of the Hannover Medical School will serve as the editors-in-chief of the journal. They will be supported by a prestigious international editorial board.
The Journal of Transition Medicine is the first international interdisciplinary journal which exclusively concentrates on transition medicine. The editorial board’s overarching goal for the journal is to improve the quality of medical care for young people with chronic illnesses during their transition into adulthood. In addition to physicians, experts from several professional disciplines involved in
transition care – or dedicated to its improvement – such as sociologists, psychologists, social workers and researchers in the healthcare sector, are involved with the journal.
The journal’s concrete objective is to disseminate research results in the area of transition medicine, including biological and behavioural science, public health and even public policy.
The Journal of Transition Medicine will publish four issues per year in English. The journal will contain original research articles, reviews and case reports as well as guidelines and recommendations.
