RIMS journal goes green

摘要

A s of this month , the venera ble monthly journal of the Rhode Island Medical Society (RIMS) has more readers, more pages, more color and more variety than ever before, while simultaneous- ly sparing the environment and consuming fewer of the Society's resources. Such are some of the many advantages of electronic publishing. Starting with this January 2013 issue, the journal is readily accessible anytime, anywhere on mobile devices, laptops and desktops. Advertisers and readers now have the convenience of hypertext, live links and occasional video that expands, deepens and enriches the journal's content. And so, as the Medical Society enters its third century, its journal too enters a new, innovative era. Mindful of its mission to educate and to re- cord, RIMS has been publishing its own clinical journal for 154 years, beginning with the Trans- actions of the Rhode Island Medical Society, which first appeared in 1859.
