Accessibility Statement

Surgical Research (SR) is committed to ensuring that its published content and website are accessible to the widest possible audience, including researchers, surgeons, and readers with disabilities.

Our Commitment

SR, published through Openventio's Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform, aims to provide content in formats compatible with assistive technologies, including screen readers, wherever technically feasible, consistent with the journal's Open Access Policy commitment to removing barriers to research access.

Ongoing Improvement

Accessibility is treated as an ongoing effort rather than a fixed achievement. As the underlying OJS platform and web standards evolve, the journal's technical infrastructure is updated accordingly to improve compatibility with assistive technologies.

Reporting an Accessibility Issue

Readers who encounter accessibility barriers when accessing SR content — including difficulty using a screen reader, navigating the site, or accessing a published article in an alternative format — are encouraged to contact the editorial office directly, describing the specific barrier encountered.

Alternative Formats

Where a reader requires a published article in an alternative accessible format not currently available through the standard PDF or HTML version, the editorial office will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the request.
