The American Society of Nephrology (ASN) has enlisted The Sheridan Group’s services to develop a full-text journal application for its premier publication Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN). Launched through the Apple Store on November 1st, its availability coincided with the ASN Annual Meeting, Kidney Week 2011, in Philadelphia, PA.
JASN is the world’s leading kidney journal serving as the journal of record for prescribers and thought-leaders throughout the global renal community.
With the availability of this free full-text app, subscribers can keep up to date with full-text articles and news published in the journal. Articles feature all print images and figures, as well as the ability to watch and listen to related video and audio sound bites. The app also features article bookmarking functionality, social media sharing integration, and full-text search support of author, title and article.
“The American Society of Nephrology is very pleased with this release and with positive response from ASN members. The JASN App is yet one more tool with which our members and subscribers can access the highest quality science in nephrology,” stated Bob Henkel, Senior Manager of Publishing Services.
“The launch of the JASN app reinforces the importance of delivering Scientific, Technical and Medical content to users on mobile devices,” said Mark Witkowski, Vice President of Technology Development at The Sheridan Group. “The Sheridan Group is committed to developing a platform of innovative publishing tools enabling our publishers to build stronger and more meaningful relationships with readers.”
