A new era of web-based publishing emerges for EFORT: EFORT Open Reviews

[摘要] This is a legitimate question. However, even though orthopaedic publications abound, EFORT Open Reviews intends to fill a void. The fact is that the number of orthopaedic journals has doubled since 1997, from 37 to 73 journals listed in the Science Citation Index Expanded.1 According to Lee et al,2 more than 46 000 orthopaedic papers were published worldwide in the first decade of the 21st century. The annual growth is double-digit – over 10% – and this constitutes a huge mass of literature added yearly to the already considerable and constantly evolving orthopaedic knowledge base. This collected information is not readily accessible to busy practitioners or to harried juniors. Lee et al also note that on a per capita basis, 12 of the top 20 countries that publish orthopaedic articles are represented by EFORT member national societies. European orthopaedics therefore plays a large role in the production of science and knowledge.
