John Wiley and Sons, Inc., and the British Society for Nanomedicine
announced today the launch of a new open access publication, the Journal
of Interdisciplinary Nanomedicine.
The Journal of Interdisciplinary Nanomedicine (JOIN) is an
international, peer-reviewed journal that aims to provide truly
interdisciplinary nanomedicine research. JOIN will contain
evidence-based outputs with high-level contributions from at least two
sciences and embraces submissions from all relevant fields.
The journal joins Wiley’s portfolio of nanotechnology journals with the
support of many respected titles, including: Advanced
Materials, Advanced
Functional Materials, Advanced
Healthcare Materials, Macromolecular
Bioscience, and Small.
JOIN is one of the first open access journals to offer interdisciplinary
research specific to nanomedicine.
“The research published here will impact the future of healthcare and
nanotechnology,” said Rachel Burley, Vice President and Director of Open
Access at Wiley. “Wiley is excited to partner with the British Society
for Nanomedicine to publish groundbreaking research in this important
area.”
“Nanomedicine is implicitly interdisciplinary and cannot progress
through to meaningful patient benefits without effective collaborations
drawing on a wide range of science areas. The British Society for
Nanomedicine is delighted to be working with Wiley to provide a new
journal which that aims to deliver our shared vision of providing a
vehicle that fully reviews and recognizes the input from multiple
disciplines” said Andrew Owen, a co-editor-in-chief for JOIN and a
Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Liverpool.
Andrew Owen is also Chair of the British Society for Nanomedicine and a
fellow of the Society of Biology. Andrew's recent research focuses on
addressing translational barriers for various nanotechnologies being
applied to treatment of infectious diseases. The journal has been
co-founded with Professor Steve Rannard (University of Liverpool, UK),
Professor Si-Shen Feng (National University of Singapore, Singapore and
The Second Military Medical University, China) and Dr Raj Bawa
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York and Bawa Biotech LLC,
Ashburn, VA).
All articles in JOIN will be published under the Creative Commons
Attribution (CC-BY) License on Wiley Online Library. Authors with open
access mandates from funders will be fully compliant when publishing
with this journal. A publication fee will be payable by authors on
acceptance of their articles. Authors affiliated with, or funded by, an
organization that has a Wiley Open Access Account can publish without
directly paying any publication charges.
The journal is open to submissions now and plans to publish the first
issue online in Fall 2015. For more information, visit www.JOINjournal.com.
