In 2022, AMJ has published 40 articles in total, among which 52% are review articles, 17% are original articles, and 15% are case reports. AMJ authors come from many parts of the world, including USA, China, Italy, Japan, Germany, etc. There are also several special series under progress.

New Frontiers and Technologies in Urology

In this special series we will deal, mainly with some reviews, some of the technological advances currently available and in progress in the various urological sub-specialties.

Radiation Urologic Reconstruction

The modern urologist is adept at diagnosing prostate cancer as well as discussing and prescribing the various treatments. One of these treatments, prostate radiation, has significant immediate and late side effects that make long-term management of these patients difficult.

Immune Response in Lung Cancer

The iTech Center for Innovative Technology across the Prevention and Care Continuum is a collaborative center developed under the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)-funded, Adolescent Trials Network for HIV Interventions (ATN).

AME Medical Journal (AMJ) is now a member of Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)

Starting from July 2021, AME Publishing Company is formally recognized a publisher member of Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and over 60 AME-published journals become a member of Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), as part of AME’s commitment to best practice in scholarly publishing.

Renal Cell Carcinoma (Ongoing)

This special series on “Renal Cell Carcinoma” is edited by Prof. Stênio de Cássio Zequi from Urology Division and Referral Center for Urological Tumors, A.C. Camargo Cancer Center (ACCCC), São Paulo, Brazil.

Penile Cancer (Ongoing)

This special series on “Penile Cancer” is edited by Prof. Stênio de Cássio Zequi from Urology Division and Referral Center for Urological Tumors, A.C. Camargo Cancer Center (ACCCC), São Paulo, Brazil.

Surgical Management of Genitourinary Malignancies

The global burden of genitourinary malignancies has been largely growing attributable to both rising incidence and associated morbidity. While genitourinary malignancies often necessitate multi-disciplinary care and treatment, surgical management of these common disease processes remains a key and integral aspect of treatment for optimal oncologic outcomes. We intentionally focused on top-ics that would highlight essential surgical principles, ranging from salvage prostatectomy to retroperi-toneal lymph node dissection to urinary diversions. Another key objective of our focused series was to critically review ongoing controversies about the comparative effectiveness of surgical approaches.

Series on Liver diseases: Symptoms, causes and novel therapies

This Series "Liver diseases: Symptoms, causes and novel therapies" is edited by Dr. Ralf Weiskirchen from RWTH University Hospital Aachen, Aachen, Germany and Dr. Wolfgang Stremmel from Medical Center Baden-Baden, Germany.

Rare Genitourinary Malignancies

Rare genitourinary malignancies remain a diverse and often challenging subset of tumor types for clinicians to care for. There are a number of reasons for the resulting challenges imparted in caring for these patients including the infrequent number of cases cared for within large healthcare systems as well as the paucity of prospective studies aimed at redefining the treatment standards for these poorly funded malignancies attracting limited industry support. This series highlights exciting advances which have been made in caring for many of these tumors and encompass the topics of adrenocortical carcinoma, extra-gonadal germ cell, melanoma, penile, sarcoma, scrotal, and urethral cancers.

AME entered an official partnership with Publons to enhance wide-ranging recognition for reviewers

AME Publishing Company entered an official partnership with Publons, a product of Clarivate Analytic Company (which owns Web of Science, EndNote, ScholarOne, among many others), as of April 2020. Around 60 AME journals’ peer review systems are now integrated seamlessly into the Publons platform (https://publons.com/about/home). The partnership was done to recognize our expert peer reviewers spontaneously for their review contribution.
