Aims & Scope

Aims

Osteology (ISSN 2673-4036) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal devoted to the basic and clinical research of bone science. Specifically, the journal is interested in original research on bone-related diseases and their molecular mechanisms, biological and physiological research on bone, interactions of bone with other organ systems, bone biomaterials, as well as methodological advances in osteology. Osteology publishes a variety article types including research papers, reviews, editorials, communications, etc. There is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers, and we encourage scientists to publish their results in as much detail as possible.
