The Medical Journal of Australia has published its final print edition and is now moving to a completely digital format.

The journal says it officially retired its print publication last month after more than 100 years in circulation, replacing it with an e-journal to be delivered fortnightly.

Editor-in-chief Professor Nick Talley said the move will reduce environmental waste, as well as increase the journal’s ability to quickly and flexibly deliver research and news to subscribers.

“These days, the challenge for all publishers is to cater for changing reading habits across all multiple digital devices,” he said.
