We are very excited to introduce the official launch of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Global Open (PRS GO), the first companion journal to Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (PRS) since its inception date in 1946. In May 2012, the PRS Editors, PRS Section Editors, leadership of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), and Journal editorial staff unanimously agreed that the time had come to create a companion open-access (OA) journal to PRS.

In previous editorials this year in PRS, we discussed the history of OA journals, the mechanics of OA publication, and how OA publication meets the rapidly growing demands of dissemination of new peer-reviewed scientific data. 1,2 We encourage you to look there for more information on how PRS GO fits into a rapidly growing literature and legacy. 1,2 OA publishing offers many benefits to a wide audience. In numerous instances, it provides a viable answer to meeting the research needs of the many in an economical way. There remain many compelling arguments in favor of traditional, subscription-based journals; OA publication of Science, Technology, and Medical data represents a complimentary way to disseminate high-quality medical literature to a large number …
