The Column & Cord Journal is a magazine-style publication for BASS, published once a year by PDF with printed copies distributed at BASS Annual Conferences (BASS and BritSpine).
Content includes original articles and abstracts presented at our annual conferences.

PDF copies of all previous versions of Column & Cord can be found on the below page.

Abstracts from BASS 2024 are now available to be cited via Scholastica!

Following feedback from abstract submitters and authors, BASS now have an Open Access Publication Platform via Scholastica where individual original articles and abstracts are to be published. Currently all abstracts from BASS 2024 are published and can be cited and visible via Google Scholar, and this offering will hopefully be expanded in the future with other citation options.
