Advanced Techniques in Complex Cervical Spine Surgery

This series is designed to to provide the readers an overview of evidence-based, state-of-the-art management strategies and surgical techniques for complex cervical pathology.

Full-endoscopic Spine Surgery

This focused issue will introduce the readers to a wide variety of FESS terminologies in terms of target disease and treatment approaches. I hope that this focused issue will provide an opportunity to standardize the detailed FESS terminology for further development.

AME entered an official partnership with Publons to enhance wide-ranging recognition for reviewers

AME Publishing Company entered an official partnership with Publons, a product of Clarivate Analytic Company (which owns Web of Science, EndNote, ScholarOne, among many others), as of April 2020. Around 60 AME journals’ peer review systems are now integrated seamlessly into the Publons platform (https://publons.com/about/home). The partnership was done to recognize our expert peer reviewers spontaneously for their review contribution.

Implementation of transparent peer review at Journal of Spine Surgery (JSS)

With a commitment to openness and accountability, and to increase the level of transparency throughout our peer review process, our editorial office has decided to implement a transparent peer review process as an option for all manuscripts submitted to JSS from June 01, 2020.

Application of the CARE Guideline as reporting standard in the Journal of Spine Surgery

The Journal of Spine Surgery welcomes case reports which are supposed to report new observations of diseases, clinical findings or novel/unique treatment outcomes relevant to practitioners in the fields of medicine.

For completeness and transparency for published case reports, the Journal of Spine Surgery will apply the CARE guidelines (1) as reporting standards for case reports starting from October 16, 2019. For any submission of case report after the date:

Welcome to Journal of Spine Surgery (JSS)

Welcome to Journal of Spine Surgery (JSS), an Open-Access journal devoted to exploring many contemporary issues affecting spine surgery, patient care and the basic sciences that form the foundation of surgical management. The Journal of Spine Surgery is intended to be an international spine journal with an Australasian platform for the exchange of ideas, experiences, new findings and developments in the treatment and outcomes of spinal care.
