| *Top viewed new books in Q4 2019 (published Oct–Dec 2019) via iospress.com/books | Journals NEW JOURNAL WEBSITES: All IOS Press journals have dedicated communities – including the authors, editors, peer reviewers, readers, and not forgetting our own IOS Press team members – as well as a specific section on the IOS Press website. As journals develop, they grow. It is not only the amount of content that increases, but also the range of offerings to the journal's audience that can expand to include information on clinical trials, webinars, discussion boards, blogs, and more. This necessitates a more expansive and robust community-based web presence. In recent months, we have launched new websites for the following three existing journals: | Translational Science of Rare Diseases
