Publisher John Wiley and Sons, Inc. and The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) have announced plans to launch a new international, open access peer-reviewed publication, JBMR Plus, in 2017. JBMR Plus joins ASBMR's flagship subscription journal, Journal of Bone and Mineral Research® (JBMR), as the favoured venue for publishing original research on all aspects of bone and musculoskeletal research through open access publication.
JBMR Plus aims to fill a need in the growing interdisciplinary field of research involving endocrinology, orthopedics, and rheumatology. JBMR Plus will publish original research, reviews, detailed protocols and methods, and special articles in basic, translational and clinical science relevant to bone, musculoskeletal metabolism and regenerative medicine research.
JBMR Plus will be helmed by Editor-in-Chief Peter Ebeling, Head of the Department of Medicine at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. In addition to its distinguished Editor-in-Chief, the journal will be supported by Deputy Editors Dr. Bo Abrahamsen and Dr. Teresita Bellido. Dr. Abrahamsen is a Professor of Clinical Database Studies and Consultant Endocrinologist at the University of Southern Denmark and Dr. Bellido serves as a Professor of Anatomy & Cell Biology at Indiana University in the United States.
All articles in JBMR Plus will be published under the Creative Commons (CC-BY and CC-BY-NC-ND) licenses on Wiley Online Library. Authors with open access mandates from funders will be fully compliant when publishing with this journal. Waivers and discounts to the article publication fees are available to authors in developing countries and under special circumstances, and authors affiliated with, or funded by, an organization that has a Wiley Open Access Account can publish without directly paying any publication charges.
The journal will begin accepting submissions in January 2017 and plans to publish the first issue online in summer 2017.
