Ali Mesiwala, MD, functions as a director at the Southern California Center for Neuroscience and Spine. Formerly an attending neurosurgeon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, he has written extensively, both for books and peer-reviewed journals. Additionally, Ali Mesiwala, MD, maintains active membership with the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS).
The CNS recently announced a joint initiative with Oxford University Press (OUP) that will see the latter as the new main publisher for both of CNS’s journals, namely, Neurosurgery and Operative Neurosurgery. CNS says it decided to go with OUP as its publisher because of its previously successful experience partnering with other organizations to co-publish their scientific literature.
According to CNS, its Neurosurgery journal is the fastest-growing publication in the neurosurgical sector. The journal solicits input from respected voices in the field and publishes leading research on both clinical and experimental topics.
The Operative Neurosurgery journal specifically targets literature pertaining to surgical procedures and the use of devices in the field. The journal is mostly populated with articles that feature the latest operative techniques, revelations on neurosurgical anatomy, and technology shaping the field.
