Wiley to Assume Publication of Mount Sinai Journal of Medicine

Redesigned and refocused Journal will emphasize translational and
personalized medicine

Hoboken, N.J., September 19, 2006 - Global publisher John Wiley & 
Sons, Inc., today announced an agreement with the Mount Sinai 
School of Medicine whereby Wiley will assume publishing 
responsibilities for Mount Sinai Journal of Medicine. Wiley will 
re-launch the journal in January 2007 with a completely new 
design and editorial focus.

Published continuously since 1934 by The Mount Sinai Hospital in 
New York, Mount Sinai Journal of Medicine is issued six times a 
year and features clinical articles from all medical disciplines. 
Wiley will re-launch the journal as Mount Sinai Journal of 
Medicine: A Journal of Translational and Personalized Medicine 
featuring articles on the evolving nature of clinical care; its 
close linkage to bio-medical research; and resulting 
opportunities for enhanced patient outcomes. The new editorial 
focus reflects the growing importance of translational and 
personalized medicine.

"Wiley feels strongly that this journal with a long history has a 
bright future," said Shawn Morton, Vice President and Publishing 
Director, Medicine, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. "We see great value 
in disseminating translational research to support personalized 
medicine and look forward to working with Mount Sinai to position 
Mount Sinai Journal of Medicine as a leading forum for the 
publication of clinical research highly relevant to clinical 
practice."

Each issue of the journal will contain review articles - invited 
and submitted - from distinguished guest authors from U.S. and 
international institutions. In addition, the journal will accept 
unsolicited articles devoted to translational and personalized 
medicine that will be subject to peer review.

"We are excited at the opportunity to collaborate with Wiley and 
convert Mount Sinai Journal of Medicine from its current 
editorial format to one focused on personalized and translational 
medicine," said C. Warren Olanow, M.D., Professor and Chairman of 
Neurology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and Editor-in-Chief. 
"We look forward to bridging with a new format, focus and 
publisher the gap between scientific discovery and clinical 
application for physicians, investigators and translational 
researchers."

Wiley will publish Mount Sinai Journal of Medicine: A Journal of 
Translational and Personalized Medicine in print and online via 
Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com), Wiley's online 
publishing platform.
