The American Urological Association, a leading professional association for the advancement of urologic patient care, has announced the early 2023 launch of a new journal - The Journal of Urology® Open Plus (JU Open Plus). A fully open access journal, JU Open Plus will become a part of the AUA's world-class family of journals.
With an editorial goal to publish the best in class, not only in urology, but across scientific, technical and medical journals as a whole, JU Open Plus aims to serve the global urology community, as well as the broader medical research community, by making research findings and breakthrough discoveries more accessible to potential users throughout the world. JU Open Plus will stand as an international, peer-reviewed, open access online journal focused on high-quality research in all areas of urology.
Article types accepted for submission will include full-length original research articles, registered reports, case reports and case series, breakthrough technologies, commentaries, narrative and systematic reviews, conference proceedings, as well as video articles. Additionally, JU Open Plus will offer a nimble, streamlined decision process and wide dissemination of scientifically rigorous research, thereby advancing the specialty of urology.
The AUA is currently accepting applications for an independent Editor to oversee the launch and publication of JU Open Plus.
Original submissions and cascaded transfer submissions from The Journal of Urology® (JU) and Urology Practice® (UPJ) to JU Open Access will begin being accepted in fall 2022, with publication of accepted articles scheduled for January 2023.
