Mission & Philosophy
The Global Journal of Modern Surgery (GJMS) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to providing a high-profile platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge surgical research. Our mission is to provide an agile, open-access platform for the rapid dissemination of surgical innovations, ensuring that the 'modern' operating room—defined by precision, robotics, and data-driven decisions—is accessible to the global surgical community.
We believe that life-saving surgical knowledge should be accessible to everyone, regardless of institutional funding or geographic location. By operating under a Gold Open Access model, we ensure that every article published is immediately available to surgeons, residents, and medical students worldwide.
Aims and Scope
1. Core Focus: The Modern Toolkit
The Global Journal of Modern Surgery (GJMS) prioritizes research that integrates technology into clinical practice. We are specifically looking for submissions regarding:
- Robotic & Computer-Assisted Surgery: New platforms, remote surgery, and cost-benefit analyses of robotic integration.
- Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning: Intraoperative decision support, predictive analytics for post-op complications, and AI-augmented imaging.
- Minimally Invasive Innovations: Advances in LAP/VATS, Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES), and reduced-port techniques.
2. Global Surgical Equity
While we focus on "Modern Surgery," we recognize that modernity is relative. We seek papers on:
- Frugal Innovation: High-tech outcomes achieved through low-cost, innovative methodologies in resource-limited settings.
- Global Education: Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) in surgical training and tele-mentoring across borders.
3. Clinical Excellence & Outcomes
We provide a home for high-quality evidence that shifts daily practice, including:
- Novel Surgical Techniques: Step-by-step descriptions of "first-in-man" procedures or significant modifications to gold-standard techniques.
- Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS): Multi-disciplinary approaches to modern perioperative care.
- Quality & Safety: Large-scale data on surgical ethics, ergonomics for surgeons, and patient-centered outcomes.
