As a giant in scientific and medical publishing with a proven track record in urology and reproductive health, we are very pleased to add our sexual medicine content to Elsevier's journal program and to its electronic platforms to ensure the highest level of readability and interactivity for our readers. I personally look forward to ensuring that JSM brings research of the highest relevance, rigor, and reproducibility to our readership."
