Journal Advertising

Print Ads

Place your message within our award-winning publications and peer-reviewed journals in medical, nursing, and allied health. Multiple sizes available as well as premium positions.

Cover Tips / Wraps

Include your advertising message on a duplicate cover sheet placed directly on top of the existing issue front cover. Cover wraps extend over both the front and back covers of the journal, while a cover tip-on affixes only to the front cover.

Inserts / Outserts

Inserts are printed on heavy paper stock to ensure the journal will break at your ad and get your message seen. Outserts can be polybagged and ride along with one of our journals.

Supplements

Advance HCP clinical skills and understanding of advancements in research through publication of a journal supplement. Journal supplements enable supporters to insert awareness of diseases and disorders, translate scientific developments into clinically useful information, and address important challenges facing practicing providers. Supplements may be developed in print as well as electronic formats, enabling inclusion of supplemental digital content, such as brief videos, peer-to-peer discussions, and additional tables and graphs.

Reprints

Print Reprints

Hard-copy reprints provide a credible leave-behind with staying power. HCPs read them, share them with colleagues, discuss them with patients, and save them for future reference. Leave behind after your sales force detail, distribute at your conference or meeting booth or polybag alongside journal subscriber copies. Visit our reprints portal and search our database to find the right article for your campaign needs.

Digital Reprints

Deliver the same journal content in electronic form and offer the added benefit of controlling and tracking the content. Leverage digital media to provide HCPs with critical content from the journals they know and trust. Embed an ePrint link into your advertising, share during a detailing call or email your licensed PDF directly to healthcare professionals.
