"Both of these journals are peer-reviewed by internationally recognized
experts and indexed in MEDLINE," commented Alison Mudditt, Executive
Vice President, of SAGE's Higher Education Group. "We already publish
several related journals, so these titles are a perfect fit for our
program."

"The addition of these two renowned publications demonstrates SAGE's
commitment to building our medical journals portfolio," stated Blaise
Simqu, President and CEO of SAGE. "Along with the ten titles in
angiology, pediatrics, and surgery we acquired from Westminster
Publications earlier this year, these two new titles will definitely
complement our medical offering which already includes such leading
titles as The American Journal of Sports Medicine, The Journal of
Clinical Pharmacology, and The Diabetes Educator."
