Healthcare information provider Wolters Kluwer Health (WK Health), US, and the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) have announced the launch of Neurology Today for the iPad, a digital app of the most widely read newspaper for neurologists. The app release coincides with the publication of the January 5, 2012, print and online edition of Neurology Today, an official publication of the AAN. Neurology Today is published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW), part of WK Health.
Neurology Today for the iPad aims to provide an enhanced reading experience of the print publication. Among the new features, the app will provide supplementary direct links to the abstracts and web pages of the journal citations and sources provided in every story, as well as greater interactivity and opportunities for reader input and commentary.
Every edition of the app will offer embedded podcasts from editors, members of the editorial advisory board and the experts interviewed in the stories. Future issues will include videocasts. Neurology Today for the iPad January 5 edition features an extended podcast discussion of the print edition’s publication of the best 2011 papers by the publication’s expert editorial advisory board. Editor-in-Chief Dr. Steven P. Ringel and Neurology Today Associate Editor Dr. Robert G. Holloway discuss the impact that each of the new discoveries and insights will have on the practice of neurology.
A number of features also will make it easier for readers to comment on stories. Readers can use the ‘Talk Back’ icon at the end of each story to provide feedback that will flow directly to the publication’s correspondence folder. The comments will be moderated and published.
LWW has also developed digital versions of Neurology, the official journal of the American Academy of Neurology, and the recently launched Neurology Clinical Practice, an official journal of the AAN. These journals are also published in print and online.
