Journal of Orthopaedic Translation (JOT)

JOT is the official peer-reviewed, open access journal of the Chinese Speaking Orthopaedic Society (CSOS) and the International Chinese Musculoskeletal Research Society (ICMRS). It is published bimonthly (January, March, May, July, September and November), by Elsevier.

Mission

The main goal of 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.

Scope and Focus Areas

JOT is devoted to publishing research and discussions that address critical issues in translational medicine related to musculoskeletal health. Multidisciplinary approaches are highly encouraged. The journal accepts original research papers, review articles, editorials, perspectives, case reports and letters to the Editor. Original papers are categorized into the following topics:

Animal models
Biomaterials
Biophysical stimulation
Clinical trials
Diagnostics
Health promotion
Industries and markets
Medical devices and implants
Nutrition and drugs
Regenerative medicine
Regulations and policies
Rehabilitation
