摘要

The presentation of a new journal is both an honor and a burden for the one who takes on the task.World Journal of Surgical Procedures(WJSP)is an online scientific journal,whose preparatory work was initiated on December 6,2010,and will be published on December 29,2011.The WJSP Editorial Board has now been established and consists of 106 distinguished experts from 23 countries.In every single issue,published on the Internet,this journal will host articles from research groups scattered all over the world,with the intention of addressing the most important innovations in technology and applications in surgical disciplines.With the spirit that animates the new online journals,the WJSP will represent an accessible space for all,thus placing itself as the“journal for all”,and as such,the benefits for all.Another sign of this openness and sharing of space is the real willingness to respond to every writer who submits a paper rapidly,but packaged in a personal,non-formal manner.Sometimes it may also be an invitation to rewrite,a sort of board criticism,an editing service.The journal welcomes different types of articles from the editorial opinion to the panel discussions of clinical cases,from the follow-up to studies from researchers around the world,to see what others are doing.WJSP is a scientific journal with its feet firmly planted in the present,but also looking to the future.Using the Internet,WJSP can be visited by anyone,and is expected to reach more readers.
