The North American Spine Society Open Access Journal (NASSJ) is an open access companion title to the society's scientific publication, The Spine Journal. The NASSJ mission is to promote knowledge and advance spine care. The journal aims to facilitate the dissemination of knowledge about clinical care, research, and education more effectively and efficiently by leveraging the open access platform and electronic media interfaces. The journal has been established as a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed, international, open access, electronic journal that publishes peer-reviewed research, critical reviews, editorials, and exchanges related to the spine surgery and spine care.

This journal accepts case reports which have educational value to the spine community. Authors seeking to advance the quality of spine care should submit:
