John Wiley and Sons has acquired publishing assets from the Clinical Cardiology Publishing Company (CCPC) and the Foundation for Advances in Medicine and Science (Fams)
Wiley will assume publishing for two peer-reviewed journals, Clinical Cardiology: an indexed and peer-reviewed journal for advances in the treatment of cardiovascular disease; and Scanning, the journal of scanning microscopies.
The acquisition complements Wiley's list of journals and adds two respected publications to the publisher's portfolio.
"We are delighted to further strengthen our clinical and microscopy portfolios with these two titles," said Vickie Thaw, vice president and publisher for medical science journals, John Wiley and Sons.
"This acquisition enables us to expand our presence in these dynamic subject areas and provide practical, must-have information to specialists as well as academics and libraries".
"We are confident that under Wiley's direction the journals will retain their positions of leadership and continue to make significant contributions to the fields of cardiology and the microscopies," said Tony Bourgholtzer, chairman of Fams.
As an indexed, peer-reviewed, controlled circulation journal, Clinical Cardiology offers up-to-date research and information on advances in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, namely how clinical cardiovascular research translates into practice, interventional techniques, pathology, pharmacology, biochemistry, and rehabilitation, among others.
Clinical Cardiology is distributed to more than 33,000 physicians, researchers, and pharmaceutical professionals in the United States.
A peer-reviewed journal, Scanning, the journal of scanning microscopies, is published six times a year and delivered to approximately 3500 scanning electron microscopists.
The journal covers the latest research and developments in scanning electron, scanning probe, and scanning optical microscopies, as well as the current and future applications of this technology to clinical medicine and bioscience.
