Announcement

To Whom It May Concern,

As informed by Wiley, the publisher for Surgical Practice, a new manuscript system called Research Exchange (ReX) will completely replace the functions of current manuscript system ScholarOne system (S1).

In last year, the submission process was already migrated to the new system. Now, the remaining parts including screening and reviewing will be moved as well. According to Wiley, the new submission system will offer better user experience, from submission, screening to reviewing. For more details, please refer to the introduction video hereby. To login the new submission system, authors can use your existing Wiley Researcher ID which connects them to Wiley Online Library (the one you used for logging in for online accessing the Surgical Practice).

The complete migration from S1 system to ReX system is scheduled on 30 June 2025 (Mon). During the migration, the ScholarOne site may experience a short downtime and unsolicited manuscripts cannot be accepted during the time. To avoid confusion, authors who have begun their submission journey before migration will continue to work within the ScholarOne tool. Your understanding and patience are much appreciated.

We are grateful for your constant support to the College and to Surgical Practice. Please continue to share with us your manuscripts in Surgical Practice. If you have any enquiries, please contact Editorial Office at surgicalpractice@cshk.org / (852) 2871 8825/ (852) 2871 8774. Thank you for your attention.

Yours faithfully,

Prof. Paul B. S. LAI
