Mission
The AI Journal of Surgery (AIJS) exists to accelerate surgical knowledge dissemination by eliminating the inefficiencies of traditional journal publishing — slow reviews, inconsistent feedback, and financial barriers — while maintaining rigorous scientific standards through AI-powered editorial processes.
AIJS is the world's first fully AI-managed surgical journal. Every manuscript receives a structured peer review report with scores across six dimensions. Every decision is accompanied by a detailed letter. And every publication is freely available to surgeons, researchers, and patients worldwide.
The AIJS Model
🤖 AI-Managed Pipeline
Desk screening, peer review, decision letters, and copyediting are all performed by state-of-the-art AI (Claude by Anthropic).
👤 Human Oversight
A human editor reviews every accepted manuscript and must approve it before publication. AI assists; humans decide.
🔓 Diamond Open Access
Free for authors. Free for readers. Forever. No APCs, no subscriptions, no paywalls.
📊 Transparent Review
All authors receive their full review report with scores, strengths, weaknesses, and specific comments — regardless of outcome.
