Prof. Giampiero Campanelli, editor in chief per la rivista Hernia
A seguito dell'annuncio di Agosto della nomina come editor-in-chief della prestigiosa rivista Hernia - The World Journal of Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery, la Springer Nature ha inviato a tutti i suoi abbonati il comunicato stampa in cui dà il benvenuto al Prof. Giampiero Campanelli. Riportiamo di seguito la versione integrale (In inglese) della comunicazione.
We are delighted to welcome our new Editor-in-Chief, Giampiero Campanelli. He brings a wealth of experience and will build on the success of the journal. Find out more about Professor Campanelli below.
"My vision for the Journal is to create a 'working platform', a forum where worldwide surgeons can start a discussion, send suggestions, propose new techniques and new ideas on any cutting edge topic in the field of hernia surgery. We will invite well-known experts to submit systematic reviews on the more debated aspects of hernia surgery, but we will also encourage all the Hernia friends to submit their research to the journal for our thorough evaluation.
Another important objective that we plan to reach is to reduce the turnaround times from submission to first decision. I will work closely with the editorial office, the Section Editors and the Reviewers to enable this."
