Wiley-Blackwell, the scientific, technical, medical and scholarly
publishing business of John Wiley & Sons, Inc., today announced the
launch of Cancer Medicine, a new Wiley Open Access journal. Cancer
Medicine is a peer reviewed, open access, interdisciplinary journal
providing rapid publication of cutting edge research from global
biomedical and clinical researchers across all the oncologic specialties
in cancer biology, clinical cancer research and cancer prevention. The
journal’s promise of full global reach is reinforced by its editorial
leadership and support from prestigious journals and societies. Cancer
Medicine has unprecedented support from three major cancer
societies: American
Cancer Society (ACS), Union for International
Cancer Control (UICC) and Japanese
Cancer Association (JCA).
Chris Graf, Publisher at Wiley-Blackwell for Cancer Medicine speaks
about the societies’ involvement in the new journal, "We are thrilled
that the ACS, the UICC, and the JCA are collaborating with us to launch
our new open access journal,Cancer Medicine. This unique
partnership of top-flight organizations reaches around the globe and is
a great fit for Cancer Medicine's truly global editorial
ambitions."
Jesper Konradsen, Journal Publishing Manager adds, “We believe that by
supporting the journal these societies lead the way for others by
showing that while publishing models may change, the core value of
successful journals remain the same: to serve as the forums for what the
research community considers the most significant current research.”
Cancer Medicine is steered by Editor-in-Chief Dr. Qingyi Wei, a highly
published and cited author based at the world’s leading cancer research
center in the United States. Dr. Wei’s previous editorial work includes
a role as a Senior Editor on the American Association for Cancer
Research’s journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.
His research is aimed at identifying individuals at high risk of
developing cancer.
Dr. Wei comments, “I am delighted to introduce Cancer Medicine,
which will allow readers to have fast access to the most up to date
global collaborations in cancer research and international approaches in
practicing cancer medicine, as well as highlighting key achievements
from the integration of basic, clinical and preventive research of
cancer. In the years to come, I will work closely with the
Wiley-Blackwell Cancer Medicine team to provide timely and
impartial service to all contributors and readers, who will, without a
doubt, make Cancer Medicine a success.”
The journal is open to submissions now and aims to publish its first
content online in Spring 2012. Please visit the journal’s website www.cancermedicinejournal.com
