"As one of the leading publishers in the world, OUP combines a rich research heritage with a unique ability to leverage today's digital technology. We are excited about their ability to provide creative and innovative solutions for us and look forward to forging a path of growth together."

Featuring original, peer-reviewed articles, Neurosurgery is the fastest-growing journal in the field, with a worldwide reputation for reliable coverage delivered with a fresh and dynamic outlook. Neurosurgery attracts contributions from the most respected international authorities and presents the latest in clinical and experimental neurosurgery. Applicable to both researchers and practicing neurosurgeons, the journal includes a wealth of valuable, in-depth information that is applicable to researchers and practicing neurosurgeons alike.

ONS is a unique publication focusing exclusively on surgical technique and devices, providing practical, cutting-edge, and skill-enhancing guidance to its readers. Complementing the clinical and research studies published in Neurosurgery, ONS brings the reader technical material that highlights operative procedures, anatomy, instrumentation, devices, and technology.

"2016 has been a banner year for the journals, and as we all work to ensure continued success and innovation, I cannot think of a better partner than Oxford University Press," said Nelson M. Oyesiku, MD, editor in chief of Neurosurgery and Operative Neurosurgery. "We all look forward to a long and fruitful partnership."
