Professor Jonathan Grauer, MD, will be the inaugural editor-in-chief of a new open-access spine research journal.
Grauer, the Vice Chair of Clinical Affairs for the Department of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation, will oversee the North American Spine Society’s NASSJ, an open-access journal designed to disseminate knowledge about clinical practice, research, and education. The journal serves as a companion to the Society’s The Spine Journal.
“Much thought was put into the decision to create this open access journal,” Grauer said in a press release from the Society. “There is growing momentum to increase free access to evidence-based research and accelerate scientific discovery. As the companion publication to The Spine Journal, we are proud to provide authors with a new NASS community outlet with the aim of contributing to the continuing education of spine care providers.”

“The vision outlined by Dr. Grauer is clear: NASSJ will be the most reputable and highest-impact open access spine care journal in the world,” said NASS President William J. Sullivan, MD in a press release. “We have a great outlet for publication as well as an excellent resource for clinical and research knowledge.”
