AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR PARENTERAL AND ENTERAL NUTRITION 
(A.S.P.E.N.) SELECTS SAGE TO PUBLISH ITS JOURNALS FROM MARCH 2008

Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, and Singapore (February 27, 2008) 
- SAGE, the world's fifth largest journals publisher, is pleased 
to announce that as of March 2008 it will publish the Journal of 
Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (JPEN) and Nutrition in Clinical 
Practice (NCP) both for A.S.P.E.N., the American Society for 
Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition.

"A.S.P.E.N.'s journals have consistently been rated our top 
member benefit; the partnership with SAGE will expand our 
readership far beyond the limits imposed by self-publication," 
said Bridget Struble, Publications Manager at A.S.P.E.N. "The 
marketing and online distribution benefits alone made SAGE the 
obvious choice for us."

Both titles are currently hosted online via HighWire Press and 
will be added to SAGE Journals Online (SJO), recently named "Best 
Platform" by the Professional and Scholarly Publishing division 
of the Association of American Publishers. This transition is 
expected to be quick as HighWire is SAGE's technology partner for 
SJO. For the first time, libraries will now have access to 
COUNTER compliant usage statistics for JPEN and NCP. The 
journals' sites will now also include advanced search features, 
articles published ahead of print with OnlineFirst, and Web 2.0 
features such as PDA article downloading and RSS feeds.

The first SAGE issue of JPEN will be March/April 2008 and NCP 
will debut in April/May 2008. JPEN will be available on SJO at 
http://jpen.sagepub.com and NCP at http://ncp.sagepub.com.

"JPEN's ultimate goal is to continue to be the premier clinical 
nutrition journal publishing cutting-edge science in the fields 
of nutrition therapeutics, mechanistic and translational science, 
and nutrition-based clinical trials," commented Dr. Paul 
Wischmeyer, Editor-in-Chief of JPEN. "This new partnership with 
SAGE is a true watershed moment in the history of our journal, 
which will greatly enhance the availability and impact of our 
journal in the rapidly growing field of nutrition therapy."

"NCP, as the premier nutrition support practice journal, educates 
nutrition professionals and promotes evidence-based nutrition 
support practices," said Dr. Jeanette Hasse, NCP Editor-in-Chief. 
"Our partnership with SAGE will allow us to broaden our 
readership and expand our efforts to disseminate important 
information on specialized nutrition."

"SAGE has seen significant growth in its science, technology and 
medical (STM) portfolio," stated Jayne Marks, SAGE Vice President 
of Global Journals Business Development. "SAGE aims to be the 
natural home for societies such as A.S.P.E.N. and we will 
collaborate with them and the editors to take their journals to 
the next level of visibility and prestige."
