Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy, Rehabilitation, Therapy & Technology (SMARTT) has launched with BioMed Central as a new open access publication. The journal aims to bring together research from sports medicine, arthroscopy, rehabilitation, therapy and technology, which may previously have been found in a range of journals, to facilitate the cross-fertilisation of ideas from these related disciplines.

Editors-in-Chief, Professor Kai-Ming Chan and Professor Masahiro Kurosaka, are supported by an international Editorial Board. Professor Chan is no stranger to open access publishing as co-Editor-in-Chief of another BioMed Central journal, Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research. We are pleased to be working with Professor Chan and Professor Kurosaka on this new title.

SMARTT is the official journal of the Asia Pacific Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (APOSSM) and is affiliated with six other societies. For further details about the journal, please visit the journal “About” page and read the launch Editorial.
