Journal Guide

The Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopädie provides orthodontists and dentists who are also actively interested in orthodontics, whether in university clinics or private practice, with highly authoritative and up-to-date information based on experimental and clinical research. The journal is the leading German publication for the promulgation of the results of original work both in the areas of scientific and clinical orthodontics and related areas. All articles undergo peer review before publication, and appear in both English and German. The German Society of Orthodontics (DGKFO) also publishes in the journal important communications, statements and announcements. The journal represents the major German forum for international communication and education in the field of orofacial orthopedics. Die Zeitschrift Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopädie informiert kompetent und aktuell Kieferorthopäden und kieferorthopädisch arbeitende Zahnärzte in Klini

The Journal of Orthodontics has an international circulation, publishing papers from throughout the world. It aims to publish high quality clinical and clinically related research papers that will underpin evidence based orthodontic care. It particularly welcomes papers that report on prospective research into different treatment methods and techniques. Regular features include original papers on clinically relevant topics, clinical case reports, reviews of the orthodontic literature, editorial book reviews, correspondence and other features of interest to the orthodontic community.

The Journal of Orthopaedic Research is the forum for the rapid publication of high quality reports of new information on the full spectrum of orthopaedic research, including life sciences, engineering, translational, and clinical studies.

The Journal of Orthopaedic Science is the official journal of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association. This journal documents the latest research and topical debates in all fields of clinical and experimental orthopedics. The journal publishes original articles, rapid short communications, instructional lectures, review articles, and letters to the editor. The editors welcome the submission of contributions from all over the world.

The official journal of the Chinese Speaking Orthopaedic Society and the International Chinese Hard Tissue Society. Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research is ready to receive manuscripts on all aspects of research related to musculoskeletal issues.

The Journal of Orthopaedic Translation (JOT) is the official peer-reviewed publication of the Chinese Speaking Orthopaedic Society (CSOS) and the International Chinese Musculoskeletal Research Society (ICMRS). It is published quarterly by Elsevier in January, April, July and October. All material published in the JOT are freely available at www.e-jot.com.The JOT aims to focus on the rapidly growing field of orthopaedic translational research. While there are a number of high quality orthopaedic journals, none are solely dedicated to the field of orthopaedic translational research. The importance of translational research is quickly being recognized by all spectrums of the scientific community, from clinicians to basic science researchers. To truly improve the health of people, scientific research on the cellular and molecular level must be utilized and applied appropriately in the clinical setting. A journal that is purely dedicated to the art of translational research will be a monumental step in the advancement of musculoskeletal care by bringing cutting edge knowledge to the forefront and allowing pioneers of orthopaedic translation to exchange and mutually enhance expertise. The JOT aims to be that linking factor and is looking forward to receiving high quality manuscripts that will advance the field of orthopaedic translation.The JOT is devoted to research and issues of strong interest in translational medicine regarding musculoskeletal and related themes. Material that will be considered include any original research findings, discussions or analyses that will move the field closer to the goal of improving musculoskeletal health, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders or injuries. Multidisciplinary approaches are particularly encouraged. We accept original articles as well as review articles, editorials, perspectives, and letters to the Editor.The main goal of the JOT is to publish papers that identify and fill scientific knowledge gaps at the junction of basic research and clinical application (from bench to bedside) or community application (from bench to community). In this vein, original research should report significant progress toward the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders and serve as templates for future exploration and investments in translational orthopaedics.Original papers are categorized into the following topics:Animal modelsBiomaterialsBiophysical stimulationClinical trialsDiagnosticsHealth promotionIndustries and marketsMedical devices and implantsNutrition and drugsRegenerative medicineRegulations and policiesRehabilitation
