Aims & Scope

eCM provides an interdisciplinary forum for publication of preclinical research in the musculoskeletal field (Trauma, Maxillofacial (including dental), Spine and Orthopaedics). The clinical relevance of the work must be briefly mentioned within the abstract, and in more detail in the paper. Poor abstracts which do not concisely cover the paper contents will not be sent for review. Incremental steps in research will not be entertained by eCM journal.Cross-disciplinary papers that go across our scope areas are welcomed.
