    PRWeb – Mon, Nov 7, 2011

    Prestigious Award Recognizes 'Overall Communications Effectiveness and Excellence'

    Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) November 07, 2011

    The editors and publisher of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), are pleased to announce that their journal has received an APEX 2011 Award for Publication Excellence Competition. The annual APEX Awards are sponsored by the editors of Writing That Works, a report for communicators who write, edit and manage business publications.

    The APEX Award was given in the "Home Pages" category, recognizing the high-quality design and editorial content of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery® website. The award is the second for the journal, which received an APEX 2009 Award in the category of Print Magazines and Journals.

    APEX Award Reflects High Quality and Value of Online Edition

    "We're pleased and honored to receive this prestigious award for the second time in three years," comments Rod J. Rohrich, MD, of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, and Editor-in-Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®. "It is a fitting recognition of our publishing team's hard work and dedication to making our journal the one consistently excellent resource for our specialty."

    Accessed at http://www.PRSJournal.com, the journal home page serves as the entry point for a wealth of indispensible content for plastic surgeons and other professionals with an interest in the field. In addition to providing subscribers to full access to each monthly issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the home page provides links to a wealth of valuable information, including collections on topics of special interest, educational videos and podcasts, and blogs.

    Another recently added feature is open access to selected premium content and important articles. The goal is to provide the world plastic surgery community with broad-ranging, in-depth content that will enhance their professional development and clinical skills—and thus their ability to provide the highest-quality care for patients undergoing plastic and reconstructive surgery.

    "Winning the APEX Award demonstrates our journal's commitment to producing the highest-quality electronic access to the critically important research papers in plastic surgery," Dr Rohrich adds.
