LaGrange, IL – October 2002 - The National Library of Medicine, after rigorous scrutiny, announced that it will include The Spine Journal™ in MEDLINE/Index Medicus.
With the advent of Index Medicus recognition, increased editorial pages, and a rapidly growing institutional subscription base, TSJ is prepared to attract a growing number of quality manuscripts while still achieving expedited review and timely publication.
"Getting indexed in only its second full year of publication is a testament to the excellent articles published in The Spine Journal and the hard work of the Editor in Chief, Tom Mayer, MD, and the Deputy Editors,” said NASS President David A. Wong, MD. “On behalf of the NASS Board I want to congratulate them. NASS is proud to have this excellent vehicle to advance high quality patient care."
The Spine Journal (TSJ), the official scientific journal of the North American Spine Society (NASS), is an international and multidisciplinary journal that publishes original, peer-reviewed articles on research and treatment related to the spine and spine care, including basic science and clinical investigations.
