Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, Singapore, and Washington DC (August 13, 2008) – SAGE, the world's fifth largest journals publisher, is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement to publish the Journal of Dental Research (JDR) beginning in 2009. JDR is the official publication of the International and American Associations for Dental Research (IADR/AADR).
The Journal of Dental Research is dedicated to the dissemination of new knowledge and information on all sciences relevant to dentistry and to the oral cavity and associated structures in health and disease.
"After considerable research, members of both the IADR and AADR Joint Boards of Directors have made the strategic decision to partner with SAGE," said Dr. Christopher Fox, executive director of IADR and AADR. "This partnership will expand the reach of the JDR into more medical, dental, and health science libraries around the world through the SAGE marketing capabilities and consortia deals."
JDR recently received a Scientific Impact Factor (SIF) of 3.496 and remains the number one monthly journal publishing original research in the "Dentistry, Oral Surgery & Medicine" category of all dental journals worldwide and has a record of editorial excellence and broad reach throughout the world's dental schools, research facilities and hospitals. This partnership adds to the growing number of more than 245 societies and associations that see SAGE as their natural home.
"SAGE is very pleased to be selected to publish the world's leading dental journal," said Jayne Marks, SAGE Vice President of Global Journals Business Development. "JDR will enjoy flagship journal status at SAGE, joining our prominent portfolio of more than 150 STM journals."
JDR is currently hosted online via HighWire Press and will be added to SAGE Journals Online (SJO), named 2007 "Best Platform" by the Professional and Scholarly Publishing division of the Association of American Publishers. This transition is expected to be smooth as HighWire is SAGE's technology partner for SJO. For the first time, libraries will have access to COUNTER compliant usage statistics for JDR. The journal's site will now also include advanced Boolean search, articles published ahead of print with OnlineFirst, and Web 2.0 features such as links to social bookmarking sites and RSS feeds.
The first SAGE issue of the Journal of Dental Research (Print ISSN: 0022-0345 Online ISSN: 1544-0591) will be Volume 88, issue 1 January 2009.
