Overview
Bangladesh is a developing country with a vast population, 50% of which are children by definition. The surgical burden of these children is also vast. With limited resources and less than the required number of skilled personnel, the paediatric surgeons in this country are providing services to the cause. The Association of Paediatric Surgeons of Bangladesh (APSB) is committed to the task with utmost dedication. The Journal of Paediatric Surgeons of Bangladesh (JPSB), the official publication of APSB, aims to draw attention to the particular problems involved and encourage the publication and dissemination of studies carried out in the field of practicing surgery in children in developing countries.
Focus and Scope
Journal of Paediatric Surgeons of Bangladesh (JPSB) is a peer‑reviewed journal for surgeons practicing and interested in surgical procedures in children. This is the official journal of the Association of Paediatric Surgeons of Bangladesh (APSB). The journal is recognised by the Bangladesh Medical & Dental Council (BMDC) and has a vast reader base across the country. The journal publishes articles from authors in any part of the globe, but has a special interest in publishing research articles from authors in Bangladesh and other developing countries, and of relevance to developing countries. It publishes original research articles, review articles, short communications, case reports, and letters on new findings.
JPSB is published in English twice a year — in January and July. No separate supplements are published as of now. Appropriate measures were taken to make the journal indexed and abstracted in major international indexing systems, including PubMed/MEDLINE, Index Medicus, Google Scholar, DOAJ, Hinari, and Scopus, among others.
Peer Review Process
Publication of research articles by JPSB is dependent primarily on their scientific validity and coherence, as judged by our external expert editors and/or peer reviewers, who also assess whether the writing is comprehensible and whether the work represents a useful contribution to the field.
