EDITORIAL Celebrate Orthopedic Research The Journal of Orthopedic Research has undergone many changes over the past 50 years and continues to metamorphose to accommodate new change and growth. I am pleased to announce important and exciting advances that we have been working on for the last few months. Many are in response to authors and readers’ needs and requests: all are designed to serve the orthopedic research community. The Journal of Orthopedic Research is the official Journal of the Orthopedic Research Society and as such holds a special, official, and highly esteemed place in the life of the orthopedic scientist. As we work diligently to increase the value of the Journal, access to publications, customer service, and ease of submission, we request that you honor the Journal by submitting your finest work so that The Journal continues to increase in value to the Society, the authors and the field of orthopedic research.
Associate Editors specializes in a major area of orthopedic research. Each Associate Editor has chosen 15–20 Editorial Board Members to review topics in their area. We hope we have covered all major areas of orthopedic research, and all demographic considerations of the authors so that each and every submitted manuscript that is appropriate for the Journal is given the highest quality and most rapid review. Please see the Editors list in the print journal or Online. 5. Topical Virtual Issues. Highlighting selected manuscripts in a specific area from the past 2 years. Thus far, we have had a Virtual Issue of papers published by Chinese authors and a Virtual Spine Issue (publication February 2015). Planned are issues in Tissue Engineering, Clinical Studies and Stem Cells.
New in 2015: 1. Open Access After 12 Months. Beginning January 2015, all articles in the JOR will become Open Access at 12 months after publication. This means that all articles published over the last year will be freely available 1 year after publication and you will have access to all archived articles with your membership or anywhere in the world. 2. Editors’ Picks. Four Research Articles will be highlighted in the JOR each month as Editors Picks (chosen by EIC and AEs). These articles will enjoy immediate Open Access for 2 months and will be publicized in ORS Connect. 3. New Submission Guidelines. Making it easy to submit your best work to JOR.
The Editor in Chief has worked closely with the Associate Editors, Bruce Beynnon, Joan Bechtold, Stuart Goodman, Edward Guo, Clark Hung, James Kang, Stavros Thomopoulos, Clare Yellowley, our Executive Editor (Wiley), Jinnie Kim, and Managing Editor (Wiley), Elizabeth Brenner along with the Executive Director of the ORS, Brenda Frederick, and Communications Director, Amber Blake to bring these ideas for change into reality. I sincerely hope you find these them useful and valuable!
