Publishing in journals can give your work visibility among other researchers in your field, outside of your immediate circle of contacts and colleagues. Each article published in a journal explores a very narrow, specific topic in depth and provides readers incite into your research. The American Surgeon can always use good content from the members of the Southern California Chapter of the American College of Surgeons. They are looking for high-quality clinical studies of interest to surgeons in active practice.
