Journal Supplement info
A journal supplement is an additional publication that accompanies a regular issue of a medical or scientific journal. It often focuses on a specific topic, theme, event (like a conference), or special collection of research papers. The supplement may include review articles, original research, expert opinions, or case studies.
Providing accurate knowledge and content for these supplements is essential to uphold academic integrity, promote current scientific knowledge, and address emerging healthcare issues.
