Inclusion in the PubMed Central database and increasing publication frequency

The Journal of Bone Metabolism (JBM) has been remodeled to an English language journal in November 2012. We have established all the infrastructure and resources including a new website, and an English online submission system. We are pleased to announce that we received a letter dated November 29 2013, from the Literature Selection Technical Review Committee of the National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA, stating that JBM has been selected for Inclusion in the PubMed Central database retroactive to Vol,19 No. 2 2012. JBM is also indexed in KoreaMed, Synapse, KoMCI, CrossRef and Google Scholar. We decided to increase the publication frequency of JBM biannually to quarterly beginning with Vol. 21, in 2014. The average turnaround time for the initial decision on the submitted manuscript remains approximately 8 weeks. For accepted articles, turnaround time from first submission to publication will be decreased to 3 months. In general, it is the policy of the JBM to publish significant papers in any field of bone and mineral research that is of interest to clinicians and researchers. The JBM welcomes the submission of manuscripts from any country. Membership in the society is not a prerequisite for submission. We look forward to receiving your papers, and we invite your comments and suggestions for the improvement of JBM.
