Future Science Group platform migration library guide

In December 2023 biomedical publisher Future Science Group joined Taylor & Francis. We are delighted to welcome the addition of 32 peer-reviewed FSG journals, and are looking forward to supporting the authors, editors and readers of these titles. They complement the existing range of over 340 Taylor & Francis medical and healthcare journals.
