Bones, Joints and Muscles is a bimonthly open access journal with a comprehensive peer review policy, and a rapid publication process. BJM features the very best in clinical and laboratory-based research on all aspects of procedures and interventions that are related to bones, joints and muscles. Patient care around the peri-operative period and patient outcomes are key topics for the journal.
We welcome contributions that can demonstrate near-term practical usefulness, particularly contributions that take a multidisciplinary/convergent approach because many real world problems are complex in nature. Contributions regarding patient satisfaction, preference, quality of life, and their role in optimizing new treatment procedures will be welcomed. The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of case reports, clinical studies, reviews and original research, and more - all offering significant contributions to knowledge in clinical studies, experimental studies and history related to bones, joints & muscles.
The journal aims to promote publications from various experts in the field. Most importantly, those from countries or regions that have few resources to provide health care now have a forum to publish their approaches, research, and dilemmas in patient management - specifically within the fields - through clinical care, research, and education.
