Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal

Aims & Scope

TheMalaysian Orthopaedic Journal(MOJ) was first published in 1997, and currently we are publishing three issues a year. The main objective of MOJ is to disseminate new knowledge and provide updates in Orthopaedics, trauma and musculoskeletal research. The journal also provides a platform for authors to share clinical experience and innovative ideas in the management of musculoskeletal conditions. MOJ publishes original papers, case reports, review papers, editorials, special papers and letters to the editor. All scientific papers are coded and archived with digital object identifier (DOI). MOJ adopts double blind peer review policy. Authors are required to pay a nominal fee for submitting new articles (Article Processing Charge / APC) for submitting scientific papers, while readers can access all the published material free of charge (Open Access Gold Model). Readers can use, share, or adapt the material published in MOJ without any fee as long as the contributors are properly acknowledged or attributed according to Creative Commons license (CC BY 4.0). MOJ is the official publication ofMalaysian Orthopaedic Association (MOA)andASEAN Orthopaedic Association (AOA). The journal is currently indexed in MyAis, MyCite, ASEANCI, Index Copernicus, WPRIM, PubMed, Pubmed Central, APAMED Central, Embase, DOAJ, SCOPUS, and ESCI. Our editorial board are active members of organizations including CSE, COPE, WAME, and APAME. TheMalaysian Orthopaedic Journalis a peer-reviewed journal that is published three times a year in both print and electronic online version. The purpose of this journal is to publish original research studies, evaluation of current practices and case reports in various subspecialties of orthopaedics and traumatology, as well as associated fields like basic science, biomedical engineering, rehabilitation medicine and nursing.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
