Information and point-of-care solutions provider Wolters Kluwer Health and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) have announced an agreement to publish the Academy's official clinical review journal effective with the March 2014 issue. The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (JAAOS) will be published under the Lippincott Williams & Wilkins journal portfolio (LWW), providing print and digital access for AAOS members, individual subscribers, and institutional users.
JAAOS reaches more than 38,000 AAOS members worldwide as a highly recognised journal providing comprehensive support on daily patient care, surgical techniques and more.
LWW will enhance JAAOS publication channels with print, digital and mobile platforms. Academy members will have mobile access to JAAOS content through a free iPad® app downloadable from iTunes. Institutional libraries such as hospitals, medical schools, and corporations will be able to access JAAOS through the HighWire or Ovid platforms. Ovid, part of Wolters Kluwer Health, is a medical research platform used by more than 12,500 institutions globally.
A new feature to JAAOS will be the addition of LWW's publish-ahead-of-print production delivering articles online soon after acceptance. Also planned for JAAOS is an open access option. Following a manuscript's acceptance for publication, authors will, for a fee, be able to stipulate that the article be made freely available to all who wish to read it. The LWW partnership also will continue JAAOS's participation in HINARI (Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative), providing physicians in designated developing nations access to JAAOS at little or no cost to the doctors.
