LONDON – The International Journal of Surgery proudly announces the launch of its new open access website www.theijs.com. The site aims to build stronger links with all authors, reviewers, the media and indeed all stakeholders in the journal by fostering enhanced interaction, content and search facilities.
This website includes a wide range of functionality:
- research abstracts from the latest issue of the IJS
- exclusive content
- rapid responses
- blogs
- podcasts
- video library
- image library
- careers centre
- RSS feeds and much more…
Professor Michael Baum, Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Surgery said:
"This is the first time surgeons in training have direct links to the teaching of techniques by interactive videos and the learning of principles direct from the mouth of world leaders on podcasts. The website is at the cutting edge of information technology for those at the "cutting edge" of surgery!"
Dr Michael Retsky, Lecturer in Surgery at Harvard Medical School said:
“It has been a pleasure to work with you and get our research story told to a wide audience in a very short time - and with high professional quality. That publicity was unanticipated and welcomed by me and my coauthors. In addition, publications in many other journals were very long to print. The IJS was the best we have seen. My expectations of publishing have risen in the past year. Now I would hesitate before submitting a paper to an old-style journal.”
