Derycz Scientific, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DYSC), a company that is pioneering a fresh way of facilitating the flow of information from content publishers to enterprise customers and their constituents, today announced that its subsidiary, Reprints Desk, has secured an exclusive, multi-year contract to provide article reprints and ePrints services for the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the nine specialty Archives Journals published by the American Medical Association (AMA), American Medical News, and Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness (DMPHP). Life science companies and others use reprints and ePrints—bulk copies of physically reproduced or digitally deployed copyrighted materials—as educational tools for communicating with healthcare professionals and consumers.
The multi-year agreement went into effect on July 27, 2010. Under the terms of the agreement, the reprints and ePrints services that Reprints Desk will provide will include article quoting and order processing, printing, delivery and deployment, billing, and customer satisfaction. Financial details were not disclosed.
"Derycz Scientific is honored that Reprints Desk has been selected as the sole supplier entrusted with managing reprints for JAMA and other AMA journals that are respected worldwide for their excellence, integrity and leadership," said Peter Derycz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Derycz Scientific. "As an organization that believes that science improves public health, Derycz Scientific is committed to making it easier for professionals in the life sciences and supporting industries to locate, license and re-use this important content that ultimately saves and improves lives."
"We at the American Medical Association are impressed with Reprints Desk's initiatives and its abilities to manage the reprint and eprint business issues that arise in the handling of published materials," said Elizabeth Jones, Sr. VP of Periodical Publishing. "We can think of no better company to oversee the smooth running of these varieties of services for our flagship publication, JAMA, as well as our other marquis journals."
