Aims & Scope
Global Spine Journal (GSJ) is the official scientific publication of AOSpine.
GSJ now incorporates Evidence-Based Spine-Care Journal (EBSJ), (which was previously a separate AOSpine publication) as a special section in each issue.
A peer-reviewed journal, GSJ is 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.
An Open Access journal that is published eight times a year, the journal is essential reading for all researchers and clinicians specializing in the spine.
GSJ is indexed in PubMedCentral and Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI).
With a multi-disciplinary scope, GSJ features original research, reviews, commentaries, editorials, and technical reports in all spine fields.
The journal promotes communication among spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and neurosurgeons across the globe by providing an integrated and balanced view of the clinical and basic science studies of spinal disorders.
