Expanding the Impact of the Philippine Journal of Orthopaedics
Main Article Content
Abstract
This issue marks a milestone for the Philippine Journal of Orthopaedics (PJO). We publish the
first article submitted by international authors. While several authors from Asia and Europe have submitted articles in the past three years, Patel et al.’s paper on proximal femoral nailing compared to 95° plating is the first to make it to publication. While I personally do not know how our fledgling journal got onto the radar of our international authors, I have a sneaking suspicion that online accessibility and indexing played a part.
