THE IMPORTANCE OF JOURNAL PUBLICATIONS Journals have been the main medium for reporting medical and scientific discoveries, inventions, and innovations for generations. Historian and librarian David Kronick wrote in 1962, "By the last half of the 19th century all of the important contributions were being printed in journals." Speaking of offprints, bibliographer and historian John Neu wrote in 1968, "Offprints, by their very nature, are scarce from the day of their printing; they seldom survive the death of the recipient...Certainly after a hundred years, a scientific [or medical] paper in offprint form is practically unfindable." More recently, Roger Gaskell explained, "Print runs of offprints vary widely form a handful to 50 or more." His advice to medical collectors: "If you see an offprint of an article, buy it."
