Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research Volume 14 Issue 1

The Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research (JOBCR) continues to maintain its aims, scope, editorial team, submission system, and rigorous peer review process. Authors submitting their work to JOBCR will be required to pay an article publishing charge (APC) and will have the option to choose a license for their published work, while retaining copyright. The APC will be requested after the peer review process and acceptance of the manuscript.

Starting from 15th August 2022, the APC for JOBCR will be USD 1800 (excluding taxes). However, special discounted rates are available for specific groups:

• Individual contributors from low and middle-income countries, including India based on the World Bank’s 2018 classification, will have a discounted APC of USD 80.
• Individual members of the Craniofacial Research Foundation Academy will have a discounted APC of USD 40.

JOBCR, as the official journal of the Craniofacial Research Foundation (CRF), aims to provide a platform for both clinical and translational research in the field of craniofacial studies. The journal publishes content related to diseases, injuries, and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws, and the hard and soft tissues of the mouth and face region. It covers topics such as the diagnosis and medical management of orofacial tissue-specific diseases, oral manifestations of systemic diseases, identifying populations at risk of oral diseases, and comparing dental care between different populations in terms of regional, environmental, social, and access factors.

Additionally, JOBCR focuses on diseases of the mouth and related structures including salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles, and perioral skin. The journal also welcomes articles on biomedical engineering, tissue engineering, and stem cell research related to the field of oral biology and craniofacial studies.

The types of articles published in JOBCR include reviews, commentaries, peer-reviewed original research articles, short communications, and case reports. By offering a diverse range of content, JOBCR aims to foster the exchange of knowledge and advancements in the field of oral biology and craniofacial research, benefiting researchers, clinicians, and professionals in the field.
