Bring your article to life with digital enhancements
Digital features can be published in association with any article in an Adis journal. They provide a concise and clear summary of the manuscript to enhance reader accessibility and the educational value of the article. They can also supplement the data through visualisation or clarify a therapeutic technique.
Digital features can be excellent tools to facilitate understanding of medical content for a wide range of audiences. They can be embedded within eprints, used as training aids, or hosted on scientific congress booths and educational platforms.
Adis journal articles can incorporate digital features to enhance your published content.
Digital Features
Adis Journals offer the option of publishing digital features alongside articles including (but not limited to):
- Videos
- Graphical/Animated abstracts
- Slide decks
- Audio slides
- Podcasts
- Infographics
Digital features are designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of articles
Plain Language Summaries
Plain language summaries (PLS) can be published with any article; these aim to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the article content to further understand its importance and clinical relevance. PLS can be text-based or digital (graphical, animated, etc.).
Peer-Reviewed
All plain language summaries and digital features are peer reviewed to ensure the factual integrity, balance and clear presentation of information. Digital features also include a “Peer reviewed” stamp and the Adis logo to confirm the rigorous scientific review process that all Adis content undergoes. Digital features can also be embedded within an article on SpringerLink, included as supplementary material and/or hosted on Figshare.
Submission Information
We recommend that features are submitted with the parent manuscript to allow simultaneous peer review. However, authors can submit features after manuscript acceptance, or even publication, of an article.
A fee applies to all features, except text-based plain language summaries, if submitted at any point after acceptance to cover the additional editorial processing.
If a feature is submitted after publication of the article, the journal will also be required to publish a Correction notice to inform readers of the post-publication addition of the digital feature and the parent article will not be updated.
