As of 2017, The American Journal of Clinical and Experimental Urology (AJCEU) is the official journal of the SBUR. AJCEU is an open-access medical journal that publishes papers produced by SBUR members and other researchers. The scope of AJCEU encompasses all areas of Urology. AJCEU welcomes original and review, commentary, and current opinion articles on both clinical investigation, translational, and basic research. Occasionally, editorials, special topic issues, short communications, case report, policy related topics and invited perspectives will also be published. Manuscripts, including figures and tables, must be original and not under consideration by another journal.

SBUR has significant involvement and representation with AJCEU, specifically with regard to manuscript review and acceptance responsibilities for publishing papers. Below is a list of how SBUR and ACJEU are working together.
