Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America Selects Wiley to
Publish Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
Hoboken, N.J., March 20, 2006 – Global publisher John Wiley
& Sons, Inc., announced today that it has been selected by
the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) as the
new publisher of the Foundation’s official journal,
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, effective January 2007.
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases is the first and only peer-
reviewed journal dedicated exclusively to inflammatory bowel
diseases. Now in its tenth year, the journal provides
articles of interest to professionals treating patients and
conducting research in this expanding field. Each issue
contains articles on clinical and basic science, as well as
reviews of treatments and ground-breaking research.
“This is a wonderful partnership opportunity for Wiley,”
said Shawn Morton, Wiley Vice President and Publishing
Director, Medicine. “We look forward to facilitating
communication about the mechanisms and treatment of Crohn's
disease and ulcerative colitis through this premier
publication in collaboration with CCFA.”
Wiley will begin publishing the journal in 2007 and will
continue to make it available in print and online as a
benefit of CCFA Professional Membership, and through
subscription to other individual and institutional
customers. Inflammatory Bowel Diseases will be available
online via Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com),
the company’s online publishing platform.
“CCFA is extremely proud of this journal, which provides an
important forum for the best and the brightest scientists
and clinicians in our field to report on the advances that
are being made,” said Jonathan Braun, M.D., Ph.D.,
Professor, David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA Medical
Center, and Chair of CCFA’s National Scientific Advisory
Committee. “We’re confident that our partnership with Wiley
will allow us to build on the journal’s success, and expand
our outreach to the medical community.”
