Open Access Journal of Surgical Sciences

Open Access Journal of Surgical Sciences (OAJSS) is a peer-reviewed open-access journal that endeavors to promote scientific knowledge in all fields of surgical sciences. The journal seeks to publish quality research aimed at improving decision-making in surgeries, increasing patient safety and innovations in operative techniques and perioperative/postoperative results. OAJSS provides a forum where surgeons, clinicians, researchers, educators, allied health professionals and others can publish their work which adds to the constant development of surgery as practiced in different health care facilities.

The journal considers for publication original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, narrative review, clinical articles, randomized controlled trial, case report, case series, technical note, short communication and expert opinions in all the areas of surgery. These may include general surgery, gastroenterologic surgery, hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, colorectal surgery, endocrine surgery, breast surgery, trauma and emergency surgery, vascular surgery, cardio-thoracic surgery, neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, pediatric surgery, urological surgery, transplantation, oral and maxillofacial surgery, otolaryngology, ophthalmic surgery, and gynecologic surgery.

Another fact that OAJSS considers is that good surgery involves more than just the operating theatre. The journal encourages scientific research that spans various fields like anesthesia, critical care, perioperative medicine, enhanced recovery pathway, infection control, surgical education, surgical training using simulation, quality improvement, management in healthcare, ethics, health economics, digital health, artificial intelligence, precision medicine, and patient-reported outcomes. Papers dealing with the problems facing surgical care globally, healthcare accessibility, evidence-based guidelines, and innovations aimed at improving surgical care are particularly encouraged.

Through free access to peer-reviewed scientific research articles, Open Access Journal of Surgical Sciences aims at promoting collaborations within the international surgical fraternity. It intends to facilitate easy transformation of scientific research findings into practice through the maintenance of high editorial and ethical standards alongside fostering multidisciplinary dialogues and continuous learning.
