Supplements may be based on the proceedings of meetings or an invited collection of manuscripts that are published through the financial support of nonprofit organizations, government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, device and equipment companies, and their designates, or medical education companies. Supplements are mailed with the journal to the readership and are usually separately bound (free-standing) issues; however, in-journal supplement options are available.
