A new Journal of Vascular Surgery publication, “JVS: Vascular Science” is planned to launch in early 2019, Drs. Peter Gloviczki and Peter Lawrence announced at the Society for Vascular Surgery’s Vascular Annual Meeting.
The publication will focus on multi-disciplinary basic and translational vascular research studies. The two doctors’ goal “is that the publication becomes the pre-eminent research journal for our Society, and that it will complement the other three JVS journals,” said Alan Dardik, MD, PhD, who will serve as editor. Drs. Gloviczki and Lawrence will serve as editor-in-chief and senior editor, respectively, as they do for the existing three publications.
Both JVS leadership and the staff of Elsevier, which publishes the JVS periodicals, assessed the need for such a journal, Dr. Dardik said. “It will answer the need for high-quality scientific studies that address the fundamental questions of patients with vascular disease.
“We’re very excited about it,” he said. “We anticipate that we will draw both from within our community of vascular surgeon-scientists as well as from the great community of scientists who study vascular biology. We also expect this new journal to be the premier and preferred publication conduit for the SVS Vascular Research Initiatives Conference.”
Dr. Dardik encouraged anyone, including the Society’s younger surgeon-scientists, interested in participating in the journal, to contact him.
