Journal news

Briefing becomes AJCR's news and features page

Profiles, conversations, explainers and short notes now sit alongside journal news.

Briefing now carries reporting on cancer research, people and institutions across Africa, as well as the journal's own news. Stories link to the researchers, institutions and papers they mention, and each story lists those records under "In this story". News from AORTIC appears alongside, drawn from aortic-africa.org.

The stories published so far are samples for testing the page.
