Cases Journal: time for a new path

When metamorphosed Cases will almost certainly cease to be a journal. We tried the journal model initially because we thought that people wanted to publish in journals -even though it's an increasingly archaic and cumbersome form that requires expensive apparatus. Academics are showing themselves willing to write blogs and publish on "databases" like PLoS One, PloS Currents, and Nature Communications, and many academics contribute more to social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter than they do to journals. And we are interested not only in academics but also in ordinary clinicians. These clinicians don't need the imprimatur of a journal but simply need an easy way to share their stories.
