More Information
This week the Journal's table of contents lists one title that is on our Web site but does not appear in the print version. The Journal's first Web-only Image in Clinical Medicine, "A Hair-on-End Skull,"1 can be found at http://www.nejm.org. We plan to release about one Image in Clinical Medicine per month as a featured, Web-only publication. This Web-only feature is free and available to all visitors to the site. The Internet offers journals an opportunity to publish additional articles and other features without having to expand the size of their printed editions. For example, some of our articles already include supplementary material available only on the Web. Such supplementary material is carefully selected on the basis of its importance to the printed article and its relevance to readers. In recent years we have received many Images in Clinical Medicine that are acceptable for publication, but the space for them in the printed Journal is limited. We have decided to publish some of these Images only on the Web.

The review and editorial process for Internet-only material will be the same as for all other manuscripts, and the same standards of quality will apply. Internet-only publications will be listed in the print version of the Journal and in our index. They will be indexed in Medline, can be cited in the literature, and will continue to be available indefinitely on our Web site. Internet-only publications are assigned electronic "page numbers" (e.g., e1) that will make them easy to find and cite. Increasingly, scientific journals are using the Internet to publish more than what appears in their printed pages. We welcome comments on our new Web-only feature.
