Medical reprints, therefore, are printed duplications of scholarly material of the medical discipline.  [Back to Top] How can our organization benefit from medical reprints? Reprints communicate a substative amount of information from an external source, which makes them a better promotional tool than advertisements or brochures developed internally. They are used to enhance corporate information material, and are credible because they are an unbiased source of information. Peer-reviewed journal reprints, for instance, are widely utilized because an independent third-party author wrote them. Among the many ways that corporate customers use reprints include advertisements, sales proposals, sales force, training and consultation, new business development, meetings and conferences, education tools, media kits, press release packages, customer relations, and so on.  [Back to Top] What is peer-reviewed? A publication is considered peer-reviewed if it has been reviewed and approved by other experts in the author's field before it is published. Most medical publishers peer-review their manuscripts prior to publication. Peer-reviewed publications offer credibility to the academic and medical claims posted in their respective publications.  [Back to Top] How much do medical reprints cost? Costs are completely dependent on the respective publisher and quantity. Reprint quotes consist of copyright permission (royalty) fees, in addition to print production fees. Since printing set-up fees are predominantly stagnant, small-quantity orders result in a larger reproduction rate. In addition, permission fees often decrease with larger orders. There is a large spectrum for publisher permission fees, which makes it difficult to offer standardized pricing. In addition, rates are routinely reviewed and increased on a regular basis.  [Back to Top] What is the typical turnaround time for reprint orders? Typical turnaround time for standard-delivery of reprint orders is 15 business days after order confirmation, although this may vary depending on the publisher. Additional delays can occur due to high volume spikes and holidays. If proof approval is required, then order confirmation occurs upon approval.  [Back to Top] Can we ship to multiple locations? Yes, we can ship to multiple client locations, at no additional fee.  [Back to Top] Can we invoice to multiple locations? Yes, we can invoice to multiple client locations, at no additional fee.  [Back to Top] Can we see a proof prior to order confirmation? Yes, proof approval is always an option. This option may result in a slight delay to your order processing time.  [Back to Top] What options and specifications are available for our reprint order?

For the most part, we can provide any of the following: Company Logo and Ads Shrink-wrapping in any quantity (usually 10, 25, 50, or individual) Custom Codes and Disclaimers Custom Covers P.I.
