Maney Publishing, UK, has announced that it has acquired two journals of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM). The journals, Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology (ATM) and the Annals of Tropical Paediatrics (ATP), have been published by Maney under licence since 2002. Under the deal, Dr. Keith Wallbanks, editor of ATM, and Vanessa Coulter, editor of ATP, will continue to work for Maney.
Over the past century, ATM has reportedly evolved from a house journal of LSTM to become one of the world's leading serial publications in its field. First published in 1981, ATP seeks to offer an international forum for medical problems, achievements and research in paediatrics and child health in the tropics and sub-tropics. Published quarterly, the journal presents peer-reviewed papers that cover a range of diseases in childhood, and the social, cultural and geographical settings in which they occur. The journal is aimed at readers with an interest in tropical child health, including specialists in tropical medicine and infectious diseases, parasitologists and pediatricians.
Founded in 1898, LSTM is claimed to be the first institution in the world dedicated to research and teaching in tropical medicine. Maney Publishing, formed in 1997 from a printing company established in 1900, publishes scholarly journals in materials science, the humanities and health science.
