In today’s world of medicine, the birth of a new journal is not necessarily good news: the field is crowded, and the relatively new phenomenon where authors can have their work published by paying for the privilege, even if it’s claimed that a peer-review process takes place, is a dubious proposition.

The birth of the journal that the reader holds in his hands, however, belongs to a different category. First, it is not one where money can buy access. Second, the peer-review process is a rigorous one, with peers filtering out manuscripts not deemed worthy of publication. Third, one of the main topics this journal focuses on is a topic often neglected by established journals: Trauma.
