Abstract
The Italian Society of Surgery has been acting to spread information about Italian medical research in the field of surgery within an international context. This project has been going on since 2007. Since then, we have been publishing Society monographs in English in the new series ‘‘Updates in Surgery,’’ and the wide diffusion of these books has induced us to increase our international visibility, renewing our Society journal as well. At the time of its initation in 1947, the journal was entitled Chirurgia Italiana and was a national, Italian language journal. Afterwards the journal became a bilingual publication. Now, it is an English-only journal and is published by Springer, which is now the world’s secondlargest specialist publisher in the Science, Technology and Medicine sector. The journal is published in a printed and online version. The online publication of the journal contents in SpringerLink brings the journal to the attention of one of the largest scientific communities in the world. Unique features, such as Online First and Open Choice, as well as the integration of eBooks and eReference Works on a single user interface and the massive number of consortia agreements made by Springer, guarantee maximum exposure and visibility for the journal and for our Society. In addition, manuscript submission (free of charge) and evaluation are now much easier thanks to the Editorial Manager submission system (https://www.editorialmanager. com/upis). The journal is already indexed in PubMed/Medline. In collaboration with Springer, we will work in the future for the journal to be included in the Science Index Citation Expanded and to achieve an ‘‘impact factor.’’ To this end, we hope that all Society members will contribute to increasing the quality of the journal by submitting excellent papers, thus helping the Editors-in-Chief and the new international Editorial Board to achieve this goal. I am certain that Italian Surgery will reach this goal, which will enhance the contribution of the Italian surgical tradition and allow the Italian Society of Surgery to maintain its international standing and continue to flourish.
