Wisconsin-based nonprofit Aurora Health Care’s Research Institute will launch a quarterly peer-reviewed research journal TheJournal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews, with the first edition expected in early 2014. The journal will be available online with limited print copies.

It will be produced by the Aurora Research Institute and will serve as a resource for Aurora researchers to publish original research and reviews for the medical community.

The journal will feature original research of interest to a multi-specialty audience in medicine, healthcare and basic science. It will be indexed to major databases, including Medline, and searchable in archives such as PubMed, hosted by the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

Dennis Baumgardner, M.D., is the inaugural editor of the journal and will lead a scientific editorial board. The journal will be accessible to academic medical centers, universities, medical institutions and the public.
