Abstract: Dear colleagues, The Kerala Surgical Journal, the official journal of the ASI Kerala Chapter, has been published regularly for many years. Five years ago, we partnered with Wolters Kluwer as our publisher. Under the able leadership of Dr. Y M Fazil Marickar, we made significant efforts to improve the journal’s quality. Following his tenure, we have continued to publish KSJ regularly over the past 2 years, with a special focus on achieving indexation in DOAJ. Recently, we received suggestions from our indexation wing at Wolters Kluwer, and we have decided to implement the necessary changes to meet the requirements. To accelerate the KSJ indexation process, we need more original research articles and review articles. With over 1800 ASI members in Kerala, we urge each member to contribute articles to help achieve this goal. In addition, our medical colleges with post-graduate training programmes offer a rich source of research potential. Senior faculties should motivate and mobilise their residents to send research articles to KSJ to get published. Submitting articles to our journal will not only support the indexation process but also enable the editorial team to: Enhance article selection to publish quality scientific material Maintain adequate gap between submission, review and acceptance of manuscripts. These two aspects are of importance in maintaining high standards of KSJ. We invite you to visit our journal website and submit your please refer to the journal’s website (www.keralasurgj.com) for detailed submission guidelines and instructions. Editorial assistance is also available to support you throughout. The editorial team with the help of Dr. Krishna Moorthy doing wonderful job to enhance the quality of the journal. The review process also is streamlined now. The editorial team appeals to all ASI Kerala Chapter members to send original research and review articles to KSJ.
