Page 5 - ISAKOS 2018 Winter Newsletter

Beginning with Volume 3 of JISAKOS, we are now publishing original research to complement our traditional content of systematic reviews and state of the art manuscripts— which have traditionally provided us a way to share our unique world-wide perspective on all aspects of orthopaedic sports medicine and knee surgery. As a society of international leaders in our field, including original scientific research from around the world is something that only ISAKOS can do.
I encourage you to look at the January 2018 issue of JISAKOS, as there are five outstanding original research papers. If you are interested in submitting an article, please visit jisakos.bmj.com. We are all very excited about this new addition to JISAKOS, a natural maturation step for our journal.
C. Niek van Dijk, the JISAKOS Editor in Chief, and his team, including Leendert Blankevoort, the Managing Editor, are doing a fantastic job with our journal, in partnership with BMJ Publishing. Along with the guidance of the Journal Advisory Group (JAG), led by John Bartlett, the Journal is on a solid path to increased recognition and presence in a crowded orthopaedic journal space.
I encourage you, our members, to participate in our Society—through committees, as well as potentially serving as a reviewer for our Journal. Additionally, a new bar has been set for the Biennial Congress. Program Chair, Stefano Zaffagnini, and Deputy Chair, Volker Musahl, are aiming to surpass Shanghai with our next Congress in Cancun. Please reserve the dates in your schedule to attend the 12TH Biennial Congress in Cancun on May 12 – 16, 2019. Also, don’t forget to submit your abstracts and apply for awards / fellowships at isakos.com.com/2019congress. There is a new Paolo Aglietti Knee Arthroplasty Award being offered, as well as expanded opportunities for research grants and scholarships. Visit the ISAKOS website to learn more about available opportunities and how you can participate or get more involved.
