The early career group of IHPBA presents recording from discussions at the Early Career Retreat and ECG Lounge sessions from the 2024 IHPBA World Congress in Cape Town.
In this episode, we discuss challenges and controversies in the editorial process, with a focus on the involvement of trainees and early career surgeons, with Drs. Giovanni Marchegiani, Rachel Guest, and David Cavalucci, along with moderators Drs. Timothy Newhook and Julia Menso. Hear about how to get started and get credit for peer-review, select a journal for publication, and controversies about sustainability of the current publishing model. Should peer-reviewers be compensated? Should we move towards fully open access publishing? Should we get rid of impact factors?
