The text below is the catalog scope statement for this journal.
BONE REPORTS is an online only, open access, peer reviewed journal that serves as an interdisciplinary forum for the rapid publication of basic, clinical and translational science research articles related to all aspects of bone, including rare bone diseases and craniofacial development and disorders. The Journal also encourages submissions related to interactions of bone with other organ systems, including cartilage, tendon and other connective tissues, endocrine, muscle, fat, neural, vascular, gastrointestinal, hematopoietic, and immune systems. The Journal considers innovative original research papers and review articles as well as null findings that offer novel insights beyond what is already well established in the field.
