Beginning this year, Springer will add the Journal of Cancer Education (JCE) to its journals publishing program. Published on behalf of the American Association for Cancer Education and the European Association for Cancer Education, the quarterly journal features a varied editorial board made up of MDs and PhDs who support the dissemination of information on improving cancer education worldwide.
The Journal of Cancer Education presents research that aims to improve current cancer education techniques, to solve problems that exist in educating patients and to strengthen existing education programs. International in scope, it serves as the ideal source to inform physicians, dentists, nurses, students, social workers as well as patients and the general public about various aspects of cancer education. Dr. Joseph F. O'Donnell of the Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, New Hampshire, USA, is editor-in-chief.
Articles include original research papers; commentary; book and media reviews; and announcements of educational programs, fellowships and grants. A special column called "Reflections" relates to the human aspects of dealing with cancer and cancer patients and their families.
Rachel R. Warren, Senior Publishing Editor of Cancer Research at Springer, said, "We are delighted that JCE will be a part of Springer's publishing program. The journal's commitment to educating scientists and public health workers in cancer prevention, early detection, treatment and rehabilitation are truly admirable and the journal will nicely compliment Springer's current, more research-focused cancer book and journal program."
The American Association for Cancer Education (www.aaceonline.com) promotes accurate and effective cancer education to those who are responsible for teaching health professionals, patients, families, caregivers, cancer survivors and the public. The Association's vision is to eliminate the burden of suffering from cancer in the world through education.
The European Association for Cancer Education (www.eaceonline.com) aims to optimize cancer education across all settings. This is achieved by providing a forum in which individuals, institutions, societies and organizations with an interest in any aspect of cancer education can share ideas, materials and experiences.
