In a significant move to enhance accessibility and embrace a fresh approach, the New Zealand Medical Journal (NZMJ) is set to launch its redesigned website and introduce a free open-access model for subscribers on January 19, 2024. As a key scientific journal for the medical profession in New Zealand, owned by the Pasifika Medical Association Group (PMAG), the NZMJ has played a pivotal role in disseminating research and insights from the health and medical industry.
For 136 years, the NZMJ has stood as New Zealand's premier medical publication. The forthcoming launch represents more than just a new website; it embodies a revitalized commitment to uphold the journal's legacy while prioritizing accessibility and improving the overall user experience.
Under the revamped model, individuals can now subscribe to the NZMJ free of charge, fostering a more inclusive and open exchange of medical knowledge. This applies to subscribers not only within New Zealand but also extends globally, allowing a broader audience to benefit from the valuable content the journal offers. While individual subscribers can enjoy complimentary access, institutional subscribers are encouraged to support the journal through a subscription fee.
The launch will be accompanied by the release of the next issue of the NZMJ on the redesigned website, marking a seamless transition to the enhanced platform. The updated website and branding aim to make navigation more user-friendly, ensuring that readers can easily access and engage with the journal's extensive content.
For those eager to explore the NZMJ's latest offerings or subscribe to the free open-access model, inquiries can be directed to nzmj@pmagroup.co.nz. This new chapter for the NZMJ signals a commitment to serving the global medical community by breaking down barriers to access, fostering collaboration, and continuing its legacy of contributing to advancements in healthcare and medicine.
