Published eight times a year, the journal is essential reading for all researchers and clinicians specializing in the spine.
Global Spine Journal (GSJ) is AOSpine’s official journal. It is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the study and treatment of spinal disorders, including diagnosis, operative and non-operative treatment options, surgical techniques, and emerging research and clinical developments. GSJ is currently taking new Original Research and Review submissions right now:
• GSJ’s new submission site
• GSJ’s online site (here you can read all
issues as well as the OnlineFirst content).
In April, was published a special issue on Rare Complications in Cervical Spine Surgery lead by GSJ Deputy Editor Daniel Riew. This issue features 21 articles all devoted to this one topic. This issue can be read online. GSJ also has a new special issue coming out lead by GSJ’s Deputy Editor and AOSpine North America Past Chair, Michael Fehlings. |

This Special Issue will be “Guidelines for the Management of Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury and Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy”.
GSJ has had a lot of exciting changes in the past year, but the biggest change has been a publishing switch. In January, GSJ switched publishers to SAGE Publications. With this switch came some new changes including a new submission system and a new website, which is more user-friendly, intuitive, and optimized for all smart phones, computers and tablets. It remains an Open Access journal, which means that all content can be downloaded and read by anyone without a subscription to the journal. It also means that all articles can be published “OnlineFirst”.
The AOSpine members benefits includes a printed copy of the journal in the mail (it is necessary to opt-in to receive it on your AOSpine profile) and the Open Access Fee (for GSJ it is currently $1,500) is waived for all accepted papers where at least one author is listed as an AOSpine member.
