STM publisher Springer, Germany, has signed a cooperation agreement with the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI). Under the deal, the global publisher will publish the latter’s The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology of India (JOGI).
Founded in 1950 by Dr. J. Jhirad, editor of the inaugural issue, The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology of India is the official publication of FOGSI. The journal claims to have the highest circulation amongst all specialty medical journals in India. Besides providing a platform for research workers and clinicians to publish their scientific work, it provides readers updated information and developments in obstetrics and gynecology and related specialties. It also publishes information about the various activities of FOGSI.
Springer will publish the journal both electronically and in print. It will include Cross Reference Linking, alert services, and Online First, a feature by which articles are published online before they appear in print. Springer will also implement the online author submission system, Editorial Manager. This system allows the peer-review process to be handled faster, resulting in the speedy publication of the articles.
