Special Issue Opportunities

JBMB regularly hosts special issues on emerging themes such as cellular therapies, transplant optimization, and marrow microenvironment signaling. Authors and guest editors may propose thematic collections to spotlight high impact topics. Visit the Proposed Special Issue page to start a proposal.

Maximizing Research Impact

Once accepted, your article is prepared for broad visibility with structured metadata, DOI registration, and open access distribution. This helps your findings surface in discovery platforms used by clinicians, researchers, and policy stakeholders.

We encourage authors to include clear clinical implications and translational context. This increases citation potential and makes your work easier to apply in guideline development, transplant protocols, and future grant proposals.

Pre Submission Checklist

• Confirm the manuscript aligns with JBMB scope and article types.
• Prepare ethics approvals, consent statements, and trial registration details.
• Include a structured abstract and clear methodology section.
• Provide a data availability statement and supporting materials.
• Ensure figures and tables meet clarity and labeling standards.
