Journal of Periodontology News Briefs

News for subscribers of the Journal, which is published monthly by the American Academy of Periodontology and also accessible online.

Features Added to Online Journal

Several enhancements have also been made to the Online Journal:

The Ahead of print section gives readers rapid access to the latest research and enables authors to see their manuscripts before the papers appear in print.
Forward linking in a JOP article allows you to see what other publications have cited that paper and be linked to the abstract(s). These links, can be found at the bottom of abstracts and full-text articles, just underneath the references.
Citation alerts give you the option of signing up to be alerted via e-mail when a particular JOP article is cited not only in JOP, but in other journals that are indexed in PubMed.

JOP Author Resource Center Launched

If you're looking for help in preparing a scientific manuscript, check out the new Author Resource Center. You'll find information on working with medical writers as well as a listing of potential writers, and more resources will be added soon.

New Publish-Ahead-of-Print Section in Online JOP

Articles will be published months rather than weeks ahead of print publication, making this an attractive feature for authors and readers alike. All articles published in this section have undergone complete peer review and copy editing, and have received author approval. More about Publish-Ahead-of-Print
