The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (British Volume), published by The British Editorial Society of Bone and Joint Surgery, will be undergoing a title change within the next 5 years.
The title The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (JBJS) is owned by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc, publishers of JBJS (American Volume), and has been licensed to the British Volume since its inception in 1948. For over 60 years, the two publications have marketed and distributed their journals together building a long-standing reputation of editorial excellence within the Orthopaedic community.
However, the publishing landscape is constantly changing and it is important that the two Volumes have clarity and autonomy to build and grow in their own direction. It has therefore been decided that this agreement will come to an end in 2015 and JBJS (British Volume) will seek a new title to advance the journal. The editorial quality, style and peer-reviewing process of JBJS (British Volume) will remain completely unchanged despite the change in title.
Peter Richardson, the recently appointed Managing Director of The British Editorial Society of Bone and Joint Surgery, will commence his position in October to lead the Society through this transition.
JBJS (Br) was first published in 1948 by The British Editorial Society of Bone and Joint Surgery with the aim to advance and improve education in orthopaedic surgery and allied branches of surgery. The journal publishes twelve issues a year of high-quality, peer-reviewed research, overseen by an international Editorial Board and a panel of 700 reviewers worldwide, led by Editor James Scott. The journal has a rejection rate of 85% and receives over 1650 submissions a year.
