STM publisher Springer has announced that it will publish the Journal of Nephrology, the official publication of the Italian Society of Nephrology (SIN), beginning in 2014. The new agreement will enable the journal to expand and strengthen its mission to stimulate advancements in medicine, focusing on nephrology, dialysis and renal transplantation.
The Journal of Nephrology is aimed at researchers, trainees and clinicians who treat renal diseases, focusing particularly on the interface between nephrology and other medical specialties. Articles will be available exclusively on Springer's online platform, SpringerLink. Founded in 1988 and previously published by Wichtig Editore, the journal appears six times a year.
The journal seeks to help nephrologists treat patients using a solid basis of research and experience. This is reinforced through the publication of excellent scientific papers from the most authoritative investigators. With this in mind, the Italian Society of Nephrology has launched the Journal of Nephrology Most Cited Paper Award. It will be presented annually to the author of the article that receives the highest number of citations in the two years following the online publication date.
