STM publisher Springer, Germany, has announced a partnership with the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) to publish the Journal of Nuclear Cardiology (JNC), beginning January 2009 (Volume 16, Issue 1). The journal is the official publication of the ASNC and claims to be the only journal devoted to the dynamic and growing subspecialty of nuclear cardiology. The journal's back issues to Volume 1 (1994) will be available through the Springer Online Archives Collection on www.springerlink.com.
As the official publication of the ASNC, JNC provides readers the latest information emerging form the Society's task forces and publishes guidelines and position papers as they are adopted. Physicians and technologists value the journal not only for its peer-reviewed articles, but also for its timely discussions on the current and future role of nuclear cardiology. Original articles address all aspects of nuclear cardiology, including interpretation, diagnosis, imaging equipment and use of radiopharmaceuticals. Editor-in-Chief, Dr. George A. Beller, former Chief of the Cardiovascular Division at the University of Virginia Health System, is supported by an international editorial board.
Springer will publish the journal both in print and electronic formats to serve the needs of librarians and specialists around the world. Articles will be published in Online First in full text via SpringerLink. Cross Reference Linking and Alert services will be fully implemented for the journal. All authors, via the Springer Open Choice program, will have the option of publishing their articles using the open access publishing model.
