Welcome to the US Shock Society!

The mission of the Shock Society is to improve the care of victims of trauma, shock, and sepsis through:

  • Promoting clinically relevant research into the basic biology of trauma, shock, and sepsis
  • Providing a multidisciplinary forum to integrate and disseminate new knowledge in trauma, shock, and sepsis
  • Promoting the education and mentoring of the next generation of investigators in the field of trauma, shock, and sepsis

Biological and Biomedical Science Societies Launch BioCore

New publishing consortium unites scholarly biological and biomedical societies to protect research integrity, grow reach and impact, strengthen financial sustainability, and reinvest in the scientific community.

The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), Society for the Study of Reproduction (SSR), Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine(SEBM), and
Shock Society today announced the launch of BioCore: A Society Publishing Consortium, a new collaborative initiative designed to strengthen society-led publishing in the biological and biomedical sciences.

As commercial consolidation accelerates and pressures mount on independent journals, BioCore offers a society-first solution that is flexible for societies already partnering with publishers. By working together, member societies can:

  • Strengthen resilience and society's financial performance in a changing publishing landscape by sharing staff, resources, and expertise.
  • Preserve trust and quality through a shared commitment to research integrity.
  • Reinvest in science by ensuring publishing revenues support conferences, fellowships, education, and community programs that benefit researchers directly.
  • Amplify collective impact to ensure society voices remain strong in global publishing and policy discussions.

About the Journal, SHOCK

SHOCK®: Injury, Inflammation, and Sepsis: Laboratory and Clinical Approaches includes studies of novel therapeutic approaches, such as immunomodulation, gene therapy, nutrition, and others. The mission of the Journal is to foster and promote multidisciplinary studies, both experimental and clinical in nature, that critically examine the etiology, mechanisms, and novel therapeutics of shock-related pathophysiological conditions. Its purpose is to excel as a vehicle for timely publication in the areas of basic and clinical studies of shock, trauma, sepsis, inflammation, ischemia, and related pathobiological states, with particular emphasis on the biologic mechanisms that determine the response to such injury. Making such information available will ultimately facilitate improved care of the traumatized or septic individual.
