Use when targeting JAMA Surgery or deciding whether a surgical-outcomes or surgical-trial study fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the surgical-trial and perioperative evidence bar, surgical-reporting challenges, reporting-guideline and trial-registration requirements, JAMA Network house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics. Venue-fit aid only, not clinical advice.

# JAMA Surgery (jama-surgery)

## Journal positioning

JAMA Surgery is a JAMA Network specialty journal for surgical clinical research across
general, vascular, thoracic, transplant, trauma, and surgical-subspecialty practice. It
favors rigorous, practice-relevant work — randomized and well-designed surgical trials,
large surgical-outcomes and registry analyses, perioperative and quality-improvement
research, and comparative-effectiveness studies — with JAMA's emphasis on patient-
centered outcomes, adequate risk adjustment, and direct relevance to surgical care.
Single-surgeon case series, descriptive technique reports without comparative outcomes,
and underpowered studies are a weak fit. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection /
re-framing** aid; it is not clinical or regulatory advice and does not replace the
journal's current instructions for authors. Before submitting, re-check the live JAMA
