SAGE Publishing and the Society for Vascular Ultrasound announce new publishing partnership

SAGE Publishing has today announced a new partnership with the Society for Vascular Ultrasound (SVU) to publish its official publication, the Journal for Vascular Ultrasound (JVU).

A quarterly journal, JVU publishes original scientific and educational articles, case studies, book reviews, technical reviews, reviews of ultrasound principles, letters to the editor, and technical notes.

“As editors of JVU, Barton Bean and myself have spent the past ten years bringing SVU members a high-quality product, but with limited resources,” commented Steve Talbot, JVU Co-Editor. “We are proud to announce a new partnership with SAGE Publishing that will bring us from the minor leagues into the majors. This demonstrates the commitment of the SVU to constantly improve the way it serves its membership. And, I think potential authors will love the new format.”

“JVU has been central to SVU’s identity for over 40 years,” commented James Wilkinson, Executive Director of SVU. “We are committed to continually improving the Journal and expanding its reach, and partnership with SAGE accomplishes both those goals. SVU members will love the exciting new features of the Journal, along with the great content JVU will continue to bring them four times a year. The expansion of the Journal’s indexing opportunities will heighten the visibility of contributing authors, and drive broader recognition of the value of vascular ultrasound.”

“JVU is a strong addition to our growing medical journals portfolio,” commented Bob Howard, Senior Vice President of Global Journals, SAGE Publishing. “We look forward to working with SVU and its editorial board to bring the journal’s content to an even larger global audience.”
