STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the launch of Wound Medicine – The International Wound Journal for Clinical and Health Economics Research and Applications.
Published in print and online four times a year, Wound Medicine is devoted to the clinical, scientific and health economics aspects in the prevention, management and reimbursement in wound care. The journal publishes original research papers and review articles.
