About the Journal
Journal of Orthopedic and Spine Trauma (JOST) is a peer-reviewed, open-access medical journal dedicated to publishing high-quality clinical, translational, and basic science research in orthopedic surgery, spine surgery, trauma, and related musculoskeletal fields. The journal aims to advance scientific knowledge, support evidence-based clinical practice, and promote improved care for patients with orthopedic, spine, and trauma-related conditions. JOST publishes original research articles, reviews, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, case reports, technical notes, educational articles, and other scholarly contributions relevant to orthopedic and spine trauma. Manuscripts are evaluated based on scientific quality, originality, methodological rigor, ethical integrity, clinical or scientific relevance, and their potential contribution to the journal’s readership. Except where otherwise stated, manuscripts that proceed to external peer review are evaluated by at least two independent expert reviewers. Additional statistical, methodological, or subspecialty reviewers may be invited when required. The Editorial Board reserves the right to refuse any material for publication and advises that authors should retain copies of submitted manuscripts and correspondence, as the material may not be returned. Final acceptance or rejection rests with the Editors.
