The JOA Moves to Online Publication

In response to challenges to the traditional subscription/advertising-supported business model for scientific publications, the Journal of Arthroplasty (JOA) publisher, Elsevier, has announced that the JOA  will join the growing list of journals reducing or eliminating printed editions starting in 2026. This will affect all AAHKS members who receive a subscription to the JOA as a member benefit. Most AAHKS members already access the JOA online, and the JOA AAHKS Annual Meeting Proceedings have been online-only for several years. AAHKS is working with Elsevier to improve the JOA online user experience for its members. NEW: Access full-text papers by logging in to the AAHKS website and accessing the Journal of Arthroplasty tab. Elsevier also plans to offer a “print on demand” service to JOA subscribers for an additional fee. Members who require assistance with their member login to access the JOA online can contact the AAHKS Member Services at Connect@AAHKS.org or 1-847-698-1200.
