ACCWS Roundtable

November 16, 2023 @ 7PM EST.

The American College of Clinical Wound Specialists™ has teamed up with the Journal of Wound Care (JWC) and Wound Central, a supplemental publication of the Journal of Wound Care to create more opportunities for our members.

The Journal of Wound Care welcomes contributions on all aspects of wound care, from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews, to case series and studies. Our editors and the supportive review process often provide inexperienced authors with constructive advice on how to improve their articles.

All articles will be sent for peer review. The Journal of Wound Care (JWC) will not accept material submitted to, or published by, other journals or books.

JWC welcomes unsolicited articles on all wound care issues. The journal publishes original research, literature reviews and clinical case studies. All articles submitted to JWC are will hold exclusive rights to articles.

ACCWS members receive a complimentary subscription to Wound Central, and a 40% discounted subscription to JWC and MagOnline using the code ACCWS40

Wound Central is a new double-blind peer reviewed journal that is published four times a year and brings together the publishing expertise of JWC.

Wound Central provides robust research and gives the opportunity for health professionals to write for and be a part of a new journal for North America. It is targeted at physicians, nurses, scientists, researchers, and academics and brings together research, reviews and expert opinion pieces all in one place.

Wound Central receives papers through JWC (impact factor of 2.066), or through the Wound Central submissions portal. The journal is catalogued in the U.S. National Library of Medicine Medline database and is available through a wide range of libraries, institutions and governments with a global scope.

As member of the ACCWS, you are entitled to receive a discounted subscription to Journal of Wound Care (JWC). 

JWC is the leading source of tissue viability research and information. JWC is essential reading for all specialists who wish to enhance their practice and stay ahead of developments in wound management and tissue viability.

The journal is internationally renowned for its cutting edge and state-of-the-art research and clinical articles, as well as its coverage of management, education and novel therapies.

JWC has been associated with an Impact Factor (IF) of 2.066 for 2022. The journal is indexed in Medline, Scopus, CINAHL and the Thomson Reuters’ Science Citation Index-Expanded and Current Contents/Clinical Medicine.
