Abstrakt:	Background: The Aesthetic Surgery Journal (ASJ) is a world-renowned publication with valuable contributions from around the globe. Objectives: To better characterize the journal's evolving representation of global contributions to aesthetic surgery, the authors examined the author affiliations of all articles published in ASJ over the last decade. Methods: A PubMed search was performed for all journal articles published in ASJ from January 2008 to August 2018. For each article, the first author's primary affiliation as indexed in MEDLINE was recorded as the source country. Data were tabulated by source country and year. The authorless errata, corrigenda, and Cosmetic Surgery National Data Bank Statistics were excluded from analysis. Results: A total of 1746 articles were published during this period, contributed from 49 distinct countries. All continents other than Antarctica were represented. Higher income countries where aesthetic surgery is more prevalent produced 87% of published articles. The total number of published articles in ASJ has climbed from 77 annually in 2008 to 318 in 2018 as of August. In 2008, 27.3% of articles were from non-US countries, whereas in 2018 this increased to 43.7%. In particular, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, and Italy demonstrate steady increases in contributions over the 10-year period. Conclusions: Publications in ASJ have increased in number over the past decade, and the journal has become increasingly global in its network of contributing authors. The increased global contribution to the ASJ may enhance readers' experience both in the United States and in the world beyond. (© 2019 The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Inc.
