About the Journal of Bone Marrow Biology
The Journal of Bone Marrow Biology (JBMB) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal of research on bone marrow biology, from basic and experimental studies to translational and clinical research. It has been published by Open Access Pub since 2017, beginning with Volume 1.
Purpose and readership
Research on where the blood is made
JBMB serves hematologists, stem cell and transplant researchers, bone biologists, cell and gene therapy investigators and clinicians who work with marrow in health and disease.
JBMB publishes research on the biology and clinical science of bone marrow. The journal covers hematopoietic stem cells, the marrow microenvironment, transplantation, marrow failure and malignancy, and the tools used to study them, across basic, experimental, translational and clinical research.
Its aims are to publish methodologically sound research that advances understanding of the marrow, to make the results freely available to everyone who can use them, and to give investigators in every region a clear route to publication.
The Aims and Scope page describes the research areas in full. The areas named there are examples, not a closed list.

Editorial responsibility
The Editor-in-Chief leads the journal's editorial direction and oversees its decisions, supported by an international editorial board whose members handle manuscripts within their expertise and advise on the journal's scope and policies.
Editorial decisions are based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal. They are independent of the article processing charge and of any fee-relief inquiry. Editors with a conflict of interest are recused from handling the manuscript.
Peer review
All submissions undergo initial editorial screening. Manuscripts that meet the journal's scope and minimum requirements proceed to independent peer review. Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request. Manuscripts that proceed to external peer review are normally evaluated by at least two independent subject-matter experts. The full process is set out in the Editorial Policies.
