About The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery (British Volume)

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery (British Volume), is published by The British Editorial Society of Bone & Joint Surgery. JBJS (Br) was first published in February 1948 and shares the title The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery  with the American Volume. The two volumes are editorially and operationally independent. If you are interested in a detailed history of JBJS (Br), listen to our podcast on the subject by Frank Horan. The Editorial Board are detailed here.

The Orthopaedic Proceedings will be undergoing a number of changes in 2012 to make the contents more attractive, including the addition of video of presentations from key international meetings.

 

About Bone & Joint Research

Bone & Joint Research is a new open access journal, launched in October 2011, that focuses on basic research in the musculoskeletal sciences. BJR publishes articles in all areas of musculoskeletal science such as bioengineering, regenerative medicine, stem cells, information, immunology, infection, cancer genetics, genomics, metabolomics, proteomics and clinical trials.

Open access is an innovative publishing model which means that all articles published in BJR will be available online, to anyone, anywhere in the world, completely free of charge.

Articles are submitted online to OrthoDox and reviewed with just the same care and attention as we offer to JBJS (Br) articles. Once accepted, authors are asked to pay a processing charge (with waivers for those from low-income countries), to be paid by them, their funding body or institution. Articles are then prepared for publication and published online where they are freely available without requiring a subscription for access.

BJR will shortly be available on the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed Central site. We will then apply for full indexing in PubMed/MEDLINE. Once granted, this indexing will be retrospective for all published articles. BJR will also apply for indexing by Thomson Reuters ISI, so that it will have an Impact Factor after the minimum period of three years.
