Journals

Global Spine Journal (GSJ) is an open access, peer-reviewed journal which focuses on the study and treatment of spinal disorders, including diagnosis, operative and non-operative treatment options, surgical techniques, and emerging research and clinical developments. Please see the Aims and Scope tab for further information.

European Spine Journal is a publication founded in response to the increasing trend toward specialization in spinal surgery. The Journal is devoted to spine surgery and all related disciplines, including functional and surgical anatomy of the spine, biomechanics and pathophysiology, diagnostic procedures, and neurology. The aim of European Spine Journal is to support the further development of highly innovative European spine surgery and to provide an integrated and balanced view of diagnostic, research and treatment procedures that will enhance effective collaboration among specialists worldwide.

Clinical Spine Surgery is the ideal journal for the busy practicing spine surgeon or trainee, as it is the only journal necessary to keep up to date with new clinical research and surgical techniques. Readers get to watch leaders in the field debate controversial topics in a new controversies section, and gain access to evidence-based reviews of important pathologies in the systematic reviews section. The journal features a surgical technique complete with a video, and a tips and tricks section that allows surgeons to review the important steps prior to a complex procedure.

Spine Deformity, the official journal of the Scoliosis Research Society, is a peer-refereed publication to disseminate knowledge on basic science and clinical research into the etiology, biomechanics, treatment methods and outcomes of all types of spinal deformities. The journal will enhance the mission of the Society, which is to foster the optimal care of all patients with spine deformities worldwide. Articles published in Spine Deformity are Medline indexed in PubMed.

Published once per year, Clinical Neurosurgery is the official register of the CNS Annual Meeting. It offers a “snapshot” of the content presented at the previous year’s meeting—including all award recipients, Honored Guest lectures, and a selection of material from the general session—alongside a preview of the coming year’s abstracts. It serves as both the proceedings summary of the Annual Meeting and a peer-reviewed publication that advances scientific exchange among CNS members.
