Publications

Take advantage of free online access to the latest and most comprehensive research through our distinguished publications:

• The highest-ranked bone journal with an impact factor of 6.2 (2023), the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research (JBMR®), publishes cutting-edge musculoskeletal research.

• A 15% discount on article publication charges (APC) for publication in JBMR® Plus (Editor-in-Chief, Deborah Veis), which publishes original research, reviews, detailed protocols and methods, and special articles in basic, translational, and clinical science in the field that are free to read, download, and share (APC for non-members is $2,750).
• The Primer on Metabolic Bone Disease and Disorders of Mineral Metabolism has been the most-respected reference for physicians and researchers for over 30 years.
