The Surgery Journal Continues to Innovate by Establishing "Submit How You Want" Policy for Authors
New York, NY, August 14, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Launched in May, 2015, The Surgery Journal (TSJ) is announcing a new, simplified submission policy for authors: “Submit How You Want.” As a reflection of TSJ’s unique approach to questioning and improving established publishing models, authors who choose to submit their work to the journal will not be required to format manuscripts before submission. As long as the paper is legible and the file is able to be opened on standard computers, the review process shall begin immediately.
Having already introduced a “Pay What You Want” (PWYW) pricing model at launch, allowing authors of accepted manuscripts to set a price they feel is most suitable to cover the Article Publication Charges (APC), The Surgery Journal has named this new author initiative “Submit How You Want.” Papers in any format (including those formatted according to other journal requirements) will be entered into peer review upon submission, with high resolution images to be submitted as the paper nears acceptance.
Graham Brumfield, Associate Publisher at Thieme, said: “We have been hearing from authors who are increasingly frustrated with the numerous (often arbitrary) formatting requirements demanded by journals. With journal rejection rates growing and papers being submitted to several titles (all with their own formatting requirements) before finding publication, this can be a very time consuming activity for authors. At The Surgery Journal, we do not see the value in asking authors to do this work upfront and as long as we can open it, we will review it.”
Daniel Schiff, Senior Vice President at Thieme, commented: “Thieme Publishers has a long history of innovation in publishing, from Thieme Dissector, an extraordinary online tool for creating customized dissection guides, to our successful series of journal podcasts, we continuously seek new ways to serve the medical community in every area of our business. We hope this initiative will make a previously laborious task that much easier for our authors.”
The Surgery Journal (TSJ) is a unique, all-encompassing, open access journal for surgeons and trainee surgeons of all disciplines, as well as other medical professionals engaged in the support and surgical treatment of patients. Available online only, it will publish original articles, reviews, and case reports. Submissions to the journal have already exceeded expectations and the first papers will be published online (Open Access), before the end of summer 2015.
TSJ is an essential resource for surgeons of every specialty seeking diversified insights into surgery, pre- and post-operative care, emerging operative equipment and techniques, and the issues facing surgical practice.
