Bone & Joint Research (BJR) is a gold open access journal with an impact factor of 4.6, dedicated exclusively to publishing research related to disorders of the musculoskeletal system and their treatment. Through a continuous publication model, the journal aims to provide rapid publication of research across a range of disciplines in the musculoskeletal sciences and in the clinical areas of orthopaedics and rheumatology, including but not limited to: basic science, bioengineering, regenerative medicine, stem cells, inflammation, immunology, infection, cancer genetics, genomics, metabolomics, proteomics, tissue research, ligaments, veterinary orthopaedics, clinical and translational laboratory studies that conform to CONSORT and STROBE guidelines, and studies from the device and pharmaceutical industries.

BJR will consider papers covering all orthopaedic and trauma specialties, such as: Foot and Ankle, Arthroplasty, Arthroscopy, Basic Science, Children’s Orthopaedics, Hand and Wrist, Hip, Knee, Limb Reconstruction Procedures, Oncology, Shoulder and Elbow, Spine and Spinal Deformities, Sports Medicine and Trauma, as well as a wide range of research study types. Suitable study types fall broadly into clinical studies and translational laboratory studies (where there is a clear relevance to the treatment of disorders in humans). Available in PubMed Central, and therefore fully searchable on PubMed, BJR offers maximum exposure of your work.
