Where this comes from

Abstract

Academic journals can expand scientific content by development of supplement issues based on academic society meetings. From 2014 to 2023, Annals of Plastic Surgery published between 42 and 143 supplemental articles per year, representing between 212 and 719 supplemental pages per year in collaboration of academic society meetings. This feature can serve as a model for other journals exploring strategies of expansion.
