A New Concept of Interactive Literature Publication |
| |
| Author: |
| Roland Talanow, MD, PhD, The Cleveland Clinic |
| |
| Background: |
Traditionally, radiology articles provide only selected images, which demonstrate the pathology or pertinent findings. This not only has a limited educational and practical value, because the user only receives selected information and cannot "find out" the answer on his own, but also more importantly, is the kind of information provided that does not resemble "real life" at the radiologist's (or other physician's) workstation. After a diagnostic exam has been opened, the pathology does not present immediately on the first image to the examiner. The entire stack of images needs to be scrolled through and the examiner has to find the pathology himself. Furthermore, scrolling through the stack of images helps obtain an overview of the entire environment, including the anatomical relationship. Until now, no journal has ever been able to provide such interactive features.

| Evaluation: |
This project enables published articles to be viewed in an interactive way with scroll functions and the ability to window and level the images. In addition, it also offers several other modes in which to review the articles, including reading the manuscript in the traditional, static way (e.g., for pint purposes). Technical and bibliographic aspects, as well as the review process, conform to international standards of peer-reviewed scientific journals.
|
| |
| Discussion: |
This new journal concept, the first journal of its kind, offers interactivity to the user. Interactivity is unique by allowing the user to view cases as seen on workstations, with scroll functions and the ability to window and level.
|
| |
| Conclusion: |
This new concept of the interactive publishing of radiological scientific work faces challenges, implements opportunities to the digital era, and represents a functioning prototype for a new generation of radiology and other scientific journals.
