From: John Williams, Editor-in -Chief, Pancreapedia
Dear Pancreapedia Members,
This is to give you an update on several major changes in Pancreapedia and links to recent publications.
Our current focus is on the collection of review entries which are located on the Pancreapedia site under the Publications tab as, “The Pancreas: Current Concepts of Health and Disease”. As sections are completed they will be published as an open access eBook with print copies available at reasonable price to cover our cost. This is a joint venture between the American Pancreatic Association and University of Michigan Publishing. We expect to publish the first eBook on “Autoimmune Pancreatitis” edited by Suresh Chari and Phil Hart by the end of the year. An eBook on Acute Pancreatitis edited by Markus Lerch and Marc Basselink is scheduled for the spring of 2016. The next update to members in January will provide information on how to access both eBook and paper copies.
We encourage you and your lab personnel who have not done so to register and post your picture and a little about yourself. Click on the Account tab to open an account. We are also interested in members preparing Methods entries or Molecule Pages on their research. These are citable publications and are a way to contribute to your field.
