Wiley Acquires Clinical Cardiology and Scanning Journals
Expands publisher’s clinical and microscopy portfolio
Hoboken, N.J., August 16, 2006—John Wiley & Sons, Inc.,
announced today that it 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 & Sons, Inc. “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 Ms. 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 3,500 scanning electron microscopists. The
journal covers the latest research and developments in
scanning electron, scanning probe, and scanning optical
