I feel privileged to announce the inaugural issue of the Journal of Orthopedics and Allied Sciences, Print and online 2319-2585. In keeping with its vision and mission of innovating, evaluating, and disseminating new knowledge, the Foundation for Orthopaedics Disability (FoOD) launched the Journal of Orthopaedics and Allied Sciences. The purpose of launching journal JOAS is to spread scientific and research information across the globe. However, primary aim of the orthopedic profession is patient health care. The quality health care of the patient will require orthopedic surgeons to generate research material, innovations, protocols to develop new medical technology, and surgical techniques that improve patient care.
We believe that quality researches and scientific information should spread horizontally across the world and by the clinicians, Universities, or Institutions. However, primary role of journal shall be bridging the scientific gap between the researchers and the readers. The JOAS not only acknowledges the scientific achievers but also recognizes the unit, the university, the department, the patients, and all of those whoever contributed to the research directly or indirectly. However, the integrity of the journal depends on the benefit of the scientist, the institution, the society, and so the world health.
The journal wishes to raise the level of care in the field of orthopedics surgery and thus improve the quality of life and socioeconomic benefit to the patients. For the next 5 years JOAS is planning to achieve international standards of researches by the making of strategic plan and activities in the editorial panel and peer-reviewing quality. With these aim we put a step forward in the field and research and publication in order to serve for the national and international health care system.
