Wiley Announces the Launch of Anatomical Sciences Education
New journal to debut in early 2008

Hoboken, N.J., April 23, 2007 - The American Association of 
Anatomists (AAA) and global publisher John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 
announces today a collaborative agreement to launch Anatomical 
Sciences Education, a new international journal covering the most 
exciting developments in education in the anatomical sciences. 
The journal will debut in early 2008 and will publish six times 
per year in print and online via Wiley InterScience 
(www.interscience.wiley.com), Wiley's online publishing platform.

The mission of the journal is to disseminate new ideas, 
innovations, and research in a way that emphasizes the quality, 
depth, and scope of activities and developments in the field of 
anatomy education.

"Scholarly work related to education in the anatomical sciences 
tends to be published either in traditional anatomy journals or 
in numerous medical specialty journals that are not read by 
teaching faculty in the anatomical sciences; hence, the impact of 
new developments in this field is somewhat diluted," said 
Co-Editor, Wojciech Pawlina, M.D. "We hope Anatomical Sciences 
Education will provide a home for all manuscripts dealing with 
issues related to anatomical sciences education," said Co-Editor, 
Richard L. Drake, Ph.D.

Providing an international forum for the exchange of ideas, the 
scope of this journal will encompass all levels of anatomical 
education, including undergraduate, allied health, medical - both 
allopathic and osteopathic, dental, graduate and post-graduate, 
and will cover all related disciplines, such as gross anatomy, 
embryology, histology, and neuroscience.

"We are pleased to have this opportunity to extend our 
partnership with the AAA further while contributing to the 
medical and educational community. Publication of Anatomical 
Sciences Education enables us to provide practical must-have 
information to educators, while expanding our portfolio of 
journals in the field of education," said Joe Ingram, Vice 
President and Executive Publisher of Life Science Journals, John 
Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Anatomical Sciences Education is led by Co-Editors Wojciech 
Pawlina, M.D., Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Richard L. 
Drake, Ph.D., Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine.

Anatomical Sciences Education adopts Wiley's new business model 
for new journal launches, in which complimentary online access 
will be available to institutions throughout 2008 and 2009.
