Launched in 1905 as Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics, and originally priced at $5/year, The Journal of the American College of Surgeons (J·¬ÇÑÉçÇøapp) actually predates the foundation of the ·¬ÇÑÉçÇøapp itself. Begun by Dr. Franklin Martin, a gynecologist from Wisconsin, the journal included articles, abstracts, book reviews, editorials, and, in the beginning, society news. In 1910, all subscribers to the publication were invited to gather in Chicago as a kind of travel club to observe and study surgery firsthand.
In 1911 a permanent organization was proposed, and by 1913 the American College of Surgeons began. In 1994, the journal’s name changed to the one we recognize today. J·¬ÇÑÉçÇøapp is the official scientific publication of the American College of Surgeons. Today, J·¬ÇÑÉçÇøapp focuses on original work of clinical relevance.
