Subspecialty journals

Abstract

just what we do not need. Despite their initial hesitancy, they rationalize its necessity. The proliferation of radiologic publications such as Urologic Radiology, Cardiovascular Radiology, and now the American Journal of Neuroradiology serves only to diffuse important information rather than to condense and consolidate it. Significant articles are appearing in the subspecialty radiology journals, only to be lost from the mainstream of radiology. There are more general radiologists doing subspecialty radiology than the appropriate specialists; yet, they may be deprived of important and pertinent articles unless they choose to subscribe to the numerous individual subspecialty radiohogic journals. What is economically profitable for the publishers may not be in the intellectual best interest for radiology. Simply, enough is enough. Please no more journals.
