The journal is published by Mary Ann Liebert and their first issue is now available. It contains editorials, interviews, a roundtable discussion, a program profile, and original articles. All of the initial issue’s articles are open access. The table of contents can be accessed by email subscription or pushed to you by RSS. We anticipate this timely journal will help integrate research into clinical practice.
