New BMJ NPH Special Collections
As the BMJ NPH metrics for 2023 were released, the International Academy of Nutrition Educators (IANE) and BMJ NPH announced 13 Special Collections to showcase some of the most groundbreaking work in the fields of nutrition and lifestyle factors. Each collection is supported by a dedicated Special Interest Group (SIG), which is part of IANE's Digital Knowledge Hub (iKANN), designed to facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing among professionals in the field of nutrition. These groups can engage with each other through the Discussion Boards on the IANE-iKANN portal and through regularly scheduled group meetings. Learn more about the Special Collections here.
The BMJ NPH collections are coordinated in partnership with NNEdPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition, and Health and its International Academy of Nutrition Educators.
