JACS Information
The Journal of Acute Care Surgery (J Acute Care Surg, JACS), is the official journal of the Korean Society of Acute Care Surgery (KSACS) and the Korean Association of Trauma Nurses (KATN). As an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal, JACS aims to provide a platform for modern, cutting-edge research at the forefront of evolving developments in acute care surgery in the Asia-Pacific area, with three essential components: trauma, critical care, and emergency surgery.
The scope of JACS includes surgical treatment and clinical outcome, perioperative patient care and rehabilitation, system organization for trauma and acute care surgery, surgical infections, nutrition, wound care techniques, military and major incident surgery, scientific laboratory research, surgical ethics, trauma nursing, multidisciplinary team approaches, and quality improvement initiatives. JACS primarily focuses on advancing the field of acute care surgery, including trauma, nontraumatic emergency surgery, surgical critical care, and trauma nursing. Our aim is to promote the enhancement and optimization of patient care through rigorous discussion and clarification of relevant acute care surgery and trauma nursing issues. This includes evaluating the outcomes of existing medical and nursing practices, applying new procedures, and exploring novel treatment concepts. JACS welcomes submissions from researchers worldwide, with a regional emphasis on the Asia-Pacific.
JACS publishes three issues per year, on the last day of March, July, and November. Our content features original research articles, review articles, case reports, editorials, and short communications, aimed at challenging traditional practice and educating surgeons, physicians, and allied healthcare professionals involved in acute care surgery.
