Welcome
OCT 2014
One of the challenges of content development and production these
days is that firstly there is so much free information out there and secondly delivery/ presentation opportunities are growing all the time. I often say that these days I work more in technology than I do in content production (luckily I love both!). Did you know that we actually produce five versions of every issue of sportEX medcine? There’s the print version, the online (website) version and then the three variations on the apps (Apple, Google, Kindle Fire). Each one requires individual set up and formatting. However these challenges are also opportunities because we can use our community of expertise to identify these free resources and filter out the wheat from the chaff so that you don’t have to. One of the missions of sportEX has always been to save you time, and that gets more and more important as the volume of web content grows. This is what we aim to achieve through both our Journal watch pages and our Social watch (Twitter in the case of this issue) at the back of the journal. In September I gave the green light to phase one of the development of our new
web platform (more nerding for me!). Without giving too much away, the ambition is that this will be a game changer for both our sports medicine industry but also for provision of content in a business to business context. It’s a bold goal but I believe an achievable one. Unfortunately I won’t have anything to show you until the first quarter of next year but the community it will help to facilitate will be great for our members. In the meantime enjoy Autumn and enjoy this issue.
