Oxford Journals, IDSA sign new publishing partnership

Oxford Journals, a division of Oxford University Press, and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), a leading professional society, have announced a new publishing partnership for IDSA's highly cited and internationally prestigious journals: Clinical Infectious Diseases (CID) and The Journal of Infectious Diseases (JID). Oxford Journals will assume publication of both journals from 1st of January, 2011.

IDSA's twice monthly publications are an excellent fit with Oxford Journals' strong medicine collection, which includes complementary titles in the field of infectious diseases, as well as with OUP's clinical book publishing program.

"Oxford University Press's academic orientation and its emphasis on scientific rigor complement the mission of IDSA," said Richard J. Whitley, MD, FIDSA, president of IDSA. "Our two organizations are committed to the dissemination of scientific knowledge."
