The Revista Española de Cirugía Ortopédica y Traumatología (Journal of Orthopaedics Surgery and Traumatology) is the official publication of the Spanish Society of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology that has a combined total of 5,000 members, and is the leading Spanish journal of the specialty. In the contents of the Journal, priority is given to original research articles on the specialty, which is also its main aim; the publication of the best original research articles in Spanish. In each issue it also publishes one or two clinical cases that are of great interest to the readers, since they are usually exceptional cases that are difficult to diagnose or treat. The Updates and Research Works sections are of great interest to specialists, due to the careful selection of the topics. The Editorial Committee consists of 10 independent members, specialists of recognised prestige that are not associated with the governing bodies of the Society. All works are evaluated blind by at least 3 peer reviewers, whose judgements are finally supervised by the Editor of the particular area of knowledge and by the Journal Editor in Chief. The Journal is included in the major databases: MEDLINE/PubMed, IME, EMBASE, Bibliomed, SCOPUS, and IBECS.
SRJ is a prestige metric based on the idea that not all citations are the same. SJR uses a similar algorithm as the Google page rank; it provides a quantitative and qualitative measure of the journal's impact.
