Many well established medical publication currently publish their journal electronically as well as in print format. Forced by high volume of manuscript submissions as well as financial restraints, some journals publish a number of their articles on the internet alone, while others-such as this journal-are starting an entirely new publication in an electronic version only. The presentation of articles in the field of pediatric cardiology electronically has numerous advantages, particularly the ability to include movie clips, sound and animations in the published articles. This format of publication continues to have limitation. It is still not as widely available as a print journal could be and it is awkward to curl up in bed with a lap top, no matter how small or light it is Fri, 01 Jan 1999 00:00:00 GMT https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/3683 1999-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/3682 Title: A new venture from an old medical school Editors: Ellul-Micallef, Roger Abstract: Editorial regarding the history related to medicine in particular the Malta Medical School.
