Journal of Global Surgery (ONE)

Global Surgery Umbrella (GSU) is a proud partner and editorial board member of the Journal of Global Surgery (ONE)—a ground-breaking, community-funded, peer-reviewed journal at the forefront of equitable publishing in global surgery.

As part of our Academics pillar, we advocate for innovative, inclusive models that remove barriers to participation in global health scholarship. The Journal of Global Surgery exemplifies this mission.

A New Model for Equitable Publishing

The Journal of Global Surgery (ONE) is reimagining academic publishing through a model that is equitable, inclusive, and truly global. Authors are never charged to submit or publish—ensuring that scientific progress isn’t limited by financial barriers. Instead, the journal operates on a community-funded model where readers and supporters contribute small payments, sometimes as little as $0.10, to unlock open access for all.

Peer reviewers are recognized with a $10 cryptocurrency stipend for their contributions. This not only acknowledges their critical role but also promotes fairness and transparency in the review process.

The Journal of Global Surgery (ONE) utilises Bitcoin Cash, a decentralized, borderless payment system, through which micro-payments are made possible, ensuring equitable access to all.

Why GSU Supports Journal of Global Surgery (ONE)

As an organization dedicated to equitable access to anaesthesia, nursing, and surgical care, GSU aligns with Journal of Global Surgery (ONE)’s values of inclusion, innovation, and accessibility. We encourage our network of researchers, practitioners, and partners to submit their work, review, or support articles on this transformative platform.

Together, we can strengthen the voice and reach of the global surgery community.
