View MoreThe conversation traces two parallel journeys into orthopaedics and scholarly publishing, converging on a shared commitment to advancing high-quality evidence. Through personal reflections on early encounters with the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, both speakers highlight how formative experiences with journal clubs, landmark reviews, and mentorship shaped their academic paths. They explore the evolution of JBJS—from mailed manuscripts and single leadership roles to a modern era defined by rigorous double-blinded peer review, global submissions, and an expanding family of journals. They emphasize the need to uphold quality, broaden international participation, and thoughtfully integrate new tools such as AI. Looking ahead, the dialogue underscores continuity in vision, a dedication to supporting authors, and a shared belief that creativity, collaboration, and deliberate use of data will guide the journal’s future.
