Dear Colleague,
I am happy to inform you that the Journal of Minimal Access Surgery (JMAS), the official publication of
IAGES, has now entered seventh year of its publication.
The first issue of 2011 is a special issue dedicated to Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery – the new, exciting advance in the field of Minimal Access Surgery. This issue edited by one of the
JMAS editors - Dr Deepraj Bhandarkar - carries 24 articles from experts around the world and is like an authoritative monograph on the subject. Please click on the link at the bottom of the page to access it.
JMAS is the first journal dedicated to Minimal Access Surgery published from India as also from the Asia Pacific region. The mission of the
JMAS is to publish peer-reviewed articles in the fields of laparoscopic surgery, thoracoscopic surgery, laparoscopic urology and gastrointestinal endoscopy. Although the
JMAS strives to publish quality articles submitted from around the world, there will be a strong emphasis on showcasing Minimal Access Surgery as practiced in the developing world. We look forward to receiving best of the material related to MAS from centres around India and Asia.
The JMAS has adopted an online manuscript management system (www.journalonweb.com/jmas) to make the peer review process rapid, streamlined and transparent. We encourage the authors to submit their manuscripts on the JMAS website. These will peer-reviewed online to keep the turnaround time down to a minimum.
For over two years (since 2009) the JMAS has been indexed with both PubMed and PubMed Central. Please click on the links below to visit the
