Research Publications–2011

Publishing in biomedical journals is a high priority in the Department of Surgery at the University of Louisville. Publications are prepared by our faculty members in collaboration with other researchers and as an extension to their basic science and clinical discoveries. Our faculty members also have mentoring experience with medical students, surgical residents, postdocs, and surgical research fellows. Many of our faculty serve on editorial boards. Our Chair Dr. Kelly M. McMasters is the Melanoma Section Editor of Annals of Surgical Oncology and serves on several other editorial boards, including Nature Medicine and The Lancet. Our current Vice Chair Dr. J. David Richardson, is the current Editor-in-Chief of The American Surgeon. Current faculty member and former Chair Dr. Hiram C. Polk, Jr. served as Editor-in-Chief of The American Journal of Surgery from 1986–2004 is currently Emeritus Editor of that journal. In this photo, Price Institute Surgical Fellow Ziad Kanaan, MD, PhD, is presenting his research on peer review at the International Congress on Peer Review and Biomedical Publication, Vancouver, BC, Canada (Kanaan Z, Galandiuk S, et al. The value of lesser-impact-factor surgical journals as a source of negative and inconclusive outcomes reporting. Ann Surg 2011;253:619-623.)
