Updates from Global Spine Congress.

Global Spine Journal (GSJ) and many of its editorial board attended Global Spine Congress in Dubai this April. GSJ hosted two successful AOSpine members only sessions on “How to Write, Publish, and Review a Paper.” The sessions were led by the Editors-in-Chief of GSJ, and during this session, the key points to writing a paper were addressed, from study results to submission. The key points in reviewing papers were also addressed, which gave the potential authors great insight into the process. We were very excited to share these sessions with the AOSpine community, and based on the success of these sessions, we will be continuing and expanding this programming at next year's Global Spine Congress in Milan. GSJ also presented its annual best paper and best reviewer awards at the GSC closing ceremony. All of the winners received a certificate along with a cash prize. GSJ would like to congratulate the winners. The Best Clinical Paper Award went to “A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion and Uninstrumented Posterolateral Fusion in the Degenerative Lumbar Spine” by Kourosh Jalalpour, Pavel Neumann, Christer Johansson, Rune Hedlund.

Paperless Journals: The Future of the Global Spine Journal.

As technology is expanding and changing, people are moving away from newspapers, books, and paper journals. People are instead opting to use tablets and/or smartphones as their platform for reading books, newspapers, and journals. Global Spine Journal is one of the few journals left that still prints and distributes paper copies of every issue. GSJ is happy to distribute paper copies to those who still enjoy reading a physical journal. We recently surveyed all AOSpine members to ask them if they prefer to read paper journals because we greatly value the opinions of our readership. In the future, for those of you who still prefer to read GSJ on paper, you can opt-in to receive it. GSJ also understands that paperless journals are the future of journals, and we want to keep up with the changing times. We will continue to publish a paper copy of the journal for now, but may consider a paperless situation in the future. We do want to ensure that we offer the best paperless options for our readers to ensure a seamless reading process. We will ensure that our online journal is optimized for all smart devices including phones and tablets. We also are exploring the opportunity to develop a full purpose GSJ app where you can download and read full issues offline. Another important thing that GSJ puts into consideration is the impact that paper journals have on the environment. Printing and distributing paper journals each year takes its toll on the environment and GSJ would like to play its part in reducing our carbon footprint. Again GSJ prides itself on valuing the needs of all of its readers. For those of you who still prefer to read a paper copy of the journal, we are more than happy to provide this to you at this time. For those of you who enjoy reading the journal online, our online journal is optimized for viewing on smart devices. We will of course keep all of our readers updated on any changes we make to the journal.

Technology: Allowing for Journals on the Go.

As we enter into 2016, technology becomes an ever increasingly more important part of our lives. Global Spine Journal is also trying to keep up with the times, as the age of print is starting to come to a close and everything is available digitally. GSJ understands that everyone leads busy lives and people do not always have time to read an entire print journal. However, we also understand that many people still enjoy reading a print journal, so we are also happy to continue to issue print copies of the journal. GSJ now has a podcast series that comes out every 3rd Friday of the month. These podcasts feature interviews between one of our Editors-in-Chief and the author of an article hand-picked by the Editors-in-Chief. These podcasts are available on iTunes here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/global-spine-journal/id923005213?mt=2 or you can also find all of them on Thieme's website here: https://www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejournals/podcast/10.1055/s-00000177. These podcasts are available to download for free and you can subscribe to them on iTunes. The podcasts are a great benefit for our readers because it allows them to learn about a particular article on the go—in the car, in the office, at the airport. We are excited to continue this successful podcast series in 2016. Another tool we have for our readers is the GSJ Browser app. This is an app that can be downloaded for tablets and allows readers to download articles to read offline at a later time. Readers can also read full issues of the journal on this app as well. This app is a great way for people to read the journal on the go, especially if they do not want to carry around a paper copy of the journal. We are excited about this browser app and we will be working on improving it even further in 2016. In 2015, GSJ became an Open Access journal which allows for all of our articles to be available online to read without a subscription or fee. It also allows for eFirst articles, which means that articles are available online for people to read soon after they are published and before they are assigned to a specific issue. This is wonderful for those readers who just want to read one or two articles when they have the chance. This also allows for people to start reading new content before it is assigned to an issue, which can take a while. GSJ is excited about moving forward as technology advances and we look forward to creating new and exciting ways to read the journal.

Flexible HR Practice

Research on the concept of ‘flexibility’ has produced a substantive scholarly in recent decades and has evolved as a focal area of management research (Monsted 1991; Sushil 1994; Skipper et al. 2014; Krishna et al. 2015). According to Sushil (2001) ‘Flexibility offers freedom of choice and is highly context specific’. Here, ‘context specific’ refers to the role of contingencies within flexibility which might render it as a form of a firm’s dynamic capability. The dynamic capability scholarship argues that in order to achieve excellence, organizations should develop capabilities complementary to their competencies (Teece et al. 1997; Helfat and Peteraf 2009). Thus, flexible HR practices can help organizations in achieving sustainable competitiveness through creating, integrating, reconfiguring, and building on its human resource base. For example, organizations can achieve competitive edge by customizing training and development programs. Conventionally, flexibility has had a comparatively peripheral presence in human resource and organizational behavior research. Although, some pockets of research are able to be evidenced on a few areas related to HRM, for example: behavioral flexibility (Lindberg and Kaiser 2004), managerial/people flexibility (Jones et al. 2006; Verdu and Gomez-Gras 2009; Bamel et al. 2013, 2014), flexible pay structure (Riley and Lockwood 1997), labor flexibility (Karuppan 2004; Mihail 2004) and flexible human resource deployment (Forrier and Sels 2003), in general, this area is marginalized. In contrast, a wide span of HR functions and practices such as: flexible recruitment and selection, flexible career and succession planning, flexible pay structure, creating organizational structure and design which incorporate flexible HR practices have received considerably less attention. This special issue is therefore timely and this is underpinned by Prof. Sushil, Editor-In-Chief, Global Journal of Flexible Systems Management, who has commented (2015):

Viewpoint

FigureFigureJournal clubs have served as a way for the local medical community to appraise and dissect medical literature for more than two centuries. (Postgrad Med J 1987;63[740]:475.) The first journal clubs date back to the early 1800s, and involved cards, smoky rooms, and late-night discussion. Sir William Osler organized a formal meeting at McGill University in 1875, and since then, residents and attendings have discussed classic and new research in settings ranging from resident conferences to local bars. The traditional format of a local journal club is undoubtedly successful, but it has significant constraints. Only physicians in attendance gain from the discussion. Even fantastic local clubs have little global impact, and documentation for knowledge translation and recall is often absent. Online tools offer opportunities for local emergency medicine journal clubs to reimagine their place within the global EM community, increase engagement, and enhance knowledge translation. Many journal clubs struggle to achieve maximum attendance because of busy resident and attending schedules. An innovative solution to this dilemma has been demonstrated by the Global EM Journal Club Series hosted by Academic Life in Emergency Medicine. (www.ALiEM.com; Ann Emerg Med 2014;63[4]:490.) The blog picks a journal article to discuss and allows its followers to contribute talking points on Twitter using the hashtag #ALiEMJC until a specific closing date. They then host a discussion of experts on Google+, with an accompanying blog post that includes a summary of the Twitter discussion. The Global EMJC Series using social media eliminates attendance stress by allowing everyone to contribute through Twitter and comments on the blog asynchronously. This setup, however, can make the contributions difficult to navigate because some comments are made on the video Google+ hangout while others are hidden within the Twitter summary. This format also lacks integration with local existing clubs that may not read the scheduled paper during the assigned time frame. The emergency medicine journal club at Washington University in St. Louis has enhanced recall and knowledge translation through online documentation. Recording a session makes a journal club much more valuable for members because they can later review discussions and teaching points. Many residency programs accomplish this goal privately by distributing minutes via emails to members. Documentation provides a permanent source for reviewing findings and recalling discussions, but the content is static. New literature cannot be added to older journal reviews, and these reviews are typically impossible to locate on a busy shift. WikEM's Journal Club offers a novel approach to an accessible, dynamic journal club with ongoing discussion and contributions. (www.WikEM.org.) By using a wiki exactly like Wikipedia, any member from any journal club at any time can contribute knowledge gained from local discussion. The system augments the already-existing residency-sponsored in-person meetings. The material is highly integrated with core emergency medicine content linked between pages, and all content is expandable for future contributions. More importantly, the format allows local groups to set their own club schedule while also contributing relevant material to the wiki for the benefit of the global EM community. Because WikEM.org is open access and user-generated, any journal club blog post, paper, online calculator, or podcast can be referenced and linked to a discussion to curate the best related content. Pages never close or disappear, allowing participants to build on historical knowledge, validate previous studies, or refute old evidence. Most importantly, all of the content is available offline on a mobile device using the WikEM app. Journal club discussions directly translate into bedside knowledge because of this tool. Just as we use new meaningful technologies for patient care, it is imperative that we also bring Osler's journal club into the 21st century by making it more accessible and dynamic with online resources.

Determinants of Internet Financial Communication: Evidence from AIM Italia

This study aims to highlight the determinants of Internet financial communication for the 39 firms quoted on Alternative Investment Market (AIM) Italia. The Internet has become a main channel of communication. It provides a useful communication tool for corporate organizations. One of the main benefits of Internet reporting is the potentially large savings in financial disclosure costs (Oyelere and Mohamed, Global Journal of Business Research, 2007). For smalland medium-sized firms (SMEs), the Internet can be a vector of communication similar to large firms without having a marketing and communication department with many resources (human and capital). Several papers have highlighted variables that have an impact on Internet financial communication such has performance, size, sector, and capital dispersion (Martson, Corporate Communications, 2003; Xiao, Yang and Chow, Journal of Accounting and Public Policy, 2004; Debreceny and Rahman, International Journal of Accounting, 2005; Bollen, Hassink and Bozic, International Journal of Accounting Information Systems, 2006). Our study concerns all 39 firms quoted on AIM Italia on 3 March 2014. This unregulated market created in March 2012 is devoted to SMEs. Thanks to the more flexible listing procedure through AIM Italia, Italian SMEs have an efficient means to reach investors focused on small caps and raise capital. This market provides an Int Adv Econ Res (2016) 22:111–112 DOI 10.1007/s11294-015-9555-7
