DALLAS, TX (July 17, 2019) — The
American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) today announced plans to launch
a new open access journal for emergency medicine research. The Journal of the American College of
Emergency Physicians Open (JACEP Open)is expected to launch
online early in 2020 and is currently seeking editorial board members.
Henry E. Wang, MD, MS, professor and
vice chair for research at the University of Texas Health Science Center at
Houston Department of Emergency Medicine has been named JACEP Open editor-in-chief.
“JACEP
Open will be the first international, peer-reviewed, entirely
open access journal from ACEP,” said Dr. Wang. “The mission of JACEP Open is to
advance emergency medicine through open access research, opinion and
educational information around the world. We are very excited to enhance the
evidence-driven dialogue on injury and disease prevention and treatment,
emergency medical services, disaster management, toxicology and other important
medical research.”
With JACEP Open, people will get more of the
high-quality, peer-reviewed research that they want, with all the visibility
that comes with being featured in ACEP-supported publications. Submission,
review and publication will be faster than the traditional journal model and
made available to anyone.
“We are thrilled to offer a new
product that meets the growing demand for open access content and expands
opportunities for some of the brightest minds in emergency medical research,”
said Dean Wilkerson, JD, MBA, CAE, executive director of ACEP. “Dr. Wang has
extensive editorial experience as well as an impressive research and
publication background. We are very pleased he will be the editor in chief
of this new journal.”
JACEP Open plans to publish online only with
unrestricted access to articles as they become available and will join Annals of Emergency Medicine as
a leading source of original research, case studies, clinical reports and
perspectives dedicated specifically to emergency medicine and related topics.
The journal welcomes submissions from international contributors and
researchers of all specialties.
JACEP Open will be published by Wiley, a
global scientific research publishing company. Although JACEP Open is the
official open access journal of ACEP, the journal maintains editorial independence
from ACEP. Published content will be selected by an editorial board and may not
reflect ACEP policies.

Physicians (ACEP) is
the national medical specialty society representing emergency medicine. Through
continuing education, research, public education and advocacy, ACEP advances
emergency care on behalf of its 38,000 emergency physician members, and the
more than 150 million Americans they treat on an annual basis.
