World Journal of Emergency Surgery
http://www.wjes.org/home/

World Journal of Emergency Surgery is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that will encompass all aspects of clinical and basic research studies related to emergency surgery (traumatic and non-traumatic) and its allied subjects. Emergency surgery is a multidisciplinary super-specialty involving all surgical specialties and all emergency medicine specialties; hence all surgeons and physicians around the world are involved in this field. Emergency surgery is divided into traumatic emergency surgery and non-traumatic emergency surgery. Both specialties are a fundamental part of the surgeon's daily work. Emergency surgery includes general emergency surgery, vascular emergency surgery, thoracic emergency surgery but also urologic, cardiac, paediatric, musculoskeletal, gynaecological, transplant emergency surgery and all surgical specialties. World Journal of Emergency Surgery considers the following types of articles:

* Research: reports of data from original research.
* Reviews: comprehensive, authoritative, descriptions of any subject within the journal's scope. Opinion leaders that have been invited by the Editorial Board usually write these articles. They have an educational aim and are 2000-3000 words
* Case reports: reports of clinical cases that can be educational, describe a diagnostic or therapeutic dilemma, suggest an association, or present an important adverse reaction. All case report articles should be accompanied by written and signed consent to publish the information from the patients or their guardians.
* Commentaries: short, focused and opinionated articles on any subject within the journal's scope. These articles are usually related to a contemporary issue, such as recent research findings, and are often written by opinion leaders invited by the Editorial Board. They focus on specific issues and are about 800 words.
* Letters to the Editor: they can take three forms: a substantial re-analysis of a previously published article, or a substantial response to such a re-analysis from the authors of the original publication, or an article that may not cover 'standard research' but that may be relevant to readers.
* Methodology articles: present a new experimental method, test or procedure. The method described may either be completely new, or may offer a better version of an existing method. The article must describe a demonstrable advance on what is currently available. The method needs to have been well tested and ideally, but not necessarily, used in a way that proves its value.
* Study protocol: describes proposed or ongoing research, providing a
detailed account of the hypothesis, rationale, and methodology of the study.
