The Journal of Oncology Practice (JOP), a publication of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), has announced the appointment of Dr. Linda D. Bosserman as Editor-in-Chief of the journal. Dr. Bosserman is a recognised leader in cancer care delivery with a deep understanding of the issues impacting all types of oncology practices.
Dr. Bosserman will oversee the development of each issue of JOP, working with its team of associate editors and editorial board to develop and execute the journal’s editorial scope and vision. The JOP's mission is to provide necessary information and insights to keep oncology professionals current on changes in practice, and provide compressed, expert opinion addressing common clinical problems.
Dr. Bosserman's term will officially begin on January 1, 2019, following the 10-year term of John V. Cox, DO, FASCO. Over the past decade the visibility of the journal's content has dramatically increased. The JOP is listed in multiple indexes including Medline and, beginning in 2018, the core collection of the Web of Science-resulting in the journal's first impact factor. In 2015, the journal went from a bi-monthly to monthly publication, adding focused clinical content.
Dr. Bosserman brings a wealth of expertise in scientific journals, having served as an Editor of the Journal of Community and Supportive Oncology since 2004, and on the Editorial Advisory Board of Oncology from 1999 to 2017. Additionally, she has worked as an invited reviewer for JOP since 2013. She is passionate about bringing state of the art science and implementation methodologies to busy clinicians in ways that support rapid assimilation into daily practice.
An ASCO member since 1990, she currently sits on the society's Board of Directors, as well as its Provider Payment Reform Task Force and Clinical Pathways Task Force. She has also done extensive work in oncology medical home-based care and was a Clinical Instructor of Medicine at Harvard University and Stanford University School of Medicine.
