European Urology, the official journal of the European Association of Urology (EAU), has a newly released impact factor of 5.634. "The journal has been a respected urological forum for over 20 years and is currently read by more than 15,000 urologists across the globe," Prof. Francesco Montorsi, Editor-in-Chief, points out.

The Platinum Journal offers its readers and authors high quality papers, fast response and international profile. To keep up with the rapidly evolving world of medicine, technology and surgical techniques, European Urology is constantly updating and innovating its features and layout in order to provide the best clinical guidance, research and education for urologists across Europe and around the world.

Prof. Montorsi also emphasizes the fact that the success of The Platinum Journal is directly related to the success of the EAU. "The growth and progress of the EAU has always had a major impact on the prosperity of European Urology."

European Urology publishes peer-reviewed articles, topical reviews, editorials and case reports on a wide range of urological complications, surgical techniques and innovative studies. All EAU members receive the journal on a monthly basis as a benefit of their membership.
