I’m just passing on news regarding the latest Open Access journal launch from EDP Sciences which I hope is of interest to readers of the SERIALST listserv. 

EDP are launching a fully open access journal that will publish original research and innovation in all areas of medical technologies in relation to surgery. The journal covers all areas of surgery and will bridge a gap between the medical and engineering communities. The journal will use the EDP Liberty APC model for article processing charges. The journal is now open for submissions, and the website is now live at http://www.surgmedtech-journal.org.


Full details in the Press Release below or online at http://bit.ly/EDPSMT; do get in touch with me, or with Claus Roll at EDP Sciences (contact info given at the end) if you need any more information.

EDP Sciences to launch Open Access journal Surgery and Medical Technologies

New multidisciplinary journal bridging the gap between clinical and engineering in surgery

Paris, France 19 June 2016. EDP Sciences has announced the launch of Surgery and Medical Technologies an open access journal dedicated to publishing high-quality papers that describe original research and innovation in all areas of medical technologies in relation to surgery. The journal will use EDP’s Liberty APC model for article processing charges, where authors can choose their own fair price to publish a paper in open access including an amount of 0€.

Surgery and Medical Technologies will publish research and technology papers reporting on innovation for surgical devices, including surgical instrumentation, innovative biomaterials, tissue engineered devices, and imaging techniques and software used for surgery planning or surgical navigation, and surgical robotic devices. These texts provide the engineering approach as well as clinical implications. Additionally, the journal will also publish review articles and papers dealing with issues such as methodologies for evaluation and quality assessment, ethics, education, safety and clinical outcome, cost and health policy, and broader issues related to impact that surgery and medical technologies have on patient and society.

Professors Philippe Rouch and Wafa Skalli, of Institut de Biomécanique Humaine Georges Charpak, Arts et métiers ParisTech, France, are co-Editors of the new journal working with a global and prestigious editorial board who are all experts in their fields, to manage the journal and its peer review process.

Professor Skalli,  commented ‘With the many advances and innovations in surgery, there has for a while been a need for a medtech journal to bridge the gap between the medical and engineering communities’, Professor Rouch continued, “We are excited to be editing this new journal which is at the convergence of these two communities, covering various fields of surgery, including but not restricted to orthopaedic surgery, cardiovascular surgery, and neurosurgery’.

Agnes Henri, Publishing Director at EDP Sciences said “We are very happy to be adding this new journal to our portfolio in order to provide the medical and engineering communities involved in surgery with vital research in this rapidly evolving discipline. We are delighted to be working with Professors Rouch and Skalli on the launch and are confident of its success”.

Surgery and Medical Technologies is now open for submissions.
