(PRWEB) October 1, 2004 -- The International Society for Cerebral Blood Flow
and Metabolism (ISCBFM) and Nature Publishing Group are pleased to announce a
new publishing partnership.
From January 2005, Nature Publishing Group
(NPG) will publish the Society's leading international title: Journal of
Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism.
Established over 40 years ago, ISCBFM
welcomes those individuals who have an interest in cerebral blood flow,
metabolism, and function. The breadth of the Society's membership can be seen in
the bi-annual Symposia, Journal and Summer Schools. These activities provide a
forum for the presentation of original, high quality basic and clinical
neuroscience research relating to normal and disordered physiology, chemistry,
neurobiology, imaging and genetics of the circulation and parenchyma of the
central nervous system. In particular, membership and participation in the
Society offers valuable clinical contacts for basic neuroscientists seeking
this, and similar reciprocal contacts for clinical neuroscientists.
NPG,
publisher of Nature and more than a dozen Nature-branded titles, is the world's
leading scientific publisher in the quality and impact of its publications. In
addition to the titles it owns, NPG publishes a growing number of titles in
partnership with major International, North American and European scientific
societies.
ISCBFM awarded NPG this contract ahead of several other STM
publishers as NPG best meets the Society's goals for developing JCBFM,
particularly with respect to synergies with other titles in NPG's portfolio, and
NPG'S flexible and responsive editorial management.
JCBFM, edited by
Richard J. Traystman, PhD of the Oregon Health and Science University in
Portland, Oregon, has an Impact Factor of 5.370 and is ranked 22/198 in ISI's
Neuroscience category.
Professor Anthony Strong, Chair of the
Publications Committee of ISCBFM, said: "ISCBFM is excited to be forming this
new partnership with NPG to publish JCBFM. The Society is already seeing the
benefits of NPG's critical insights, expertise and enthusiasm. We selected NPG
as the partner to help us develop JCBFM by harnessing NPG's forward-looking
publishing approach, its premier web presence and global marketing
reach."
Annette Thomas, Managing Director of NPG, said: "NPG is delighted
to have been chosen to enter this association with ISCBFM. The partnership
fulfils our mission to provide the highest quality information to the global
scientific community. We look forward to building a strong reputation with the
Society and its membership and to taking the journal forward."
