Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers and the American Thyroid Association (ATA) have announced major plans for the expansion of the flagship journal Thyroid to include two additional important components to better serve the thyroid community and to foster optimal patient care.
In spring 2014, Thyroid will launch an innovative rapid-publication video journal companion called VideoEndocrinology. VideoEndocrinology will publish high-quality videos of cutting-edge surgical and diagnostic imaging techniques and technologies covering thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal tumors and diseases, with minimally invasive, robotic, and open surgical procedures.
VideoEndocrinology will provide a dynamic new venue for physicians and surgeons to share their techniques and showcase new approaches. This summer, the ATA and Publisher will announce an editor-in-chief and associate editor team for VideoEndocrinology and will build an extensive taxonomy that will support a robust video journal platform.
Beginning in January 2014, the highly valued abstract and commentary publication - Clinical Thyroidology, led by Editor-in-Chief Dr. Jerome M. Hershman - will be part of the Thyroid journal expansion, enhanced by a sophisticated online format that will be easily searchable and discoverable, and accessible in libraries and institutions all over the globe as part of a subscription to Thyroid.
ATA members in good standing will receive VideoEndocrinology and Clinical Thyroidology as part of their membership benefits. All three journals are provided free online in the developing world courtesy of the Publisher.
