Aims and Scope

The International Journal of Oral Biology is an official journal of the Korean Academy of Oral Biology (www.kaob.or.kr). The journal is devoted to the advancement and dissemination of fundamental knowledge concerning every aspect of vertebrate orofacial and dental tissues and bone, from the standpoint of anatomy, biophysics, biochemistry, genetics, immunology, microbiology, pharmacology, or physiology. The International Journal of Oral Biology is published quarterly (March 31st, June 30th, September 30th, and December 31st). The contents can be found at the end of each volume. The International Journal of Oral Biology is supported, in part, by the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies.

Reviewing Process

All papers are assessed initially by members of Associate Editors. The manuscripts may be returned rapidly without external peer review, if it is considered not competitive or outside the scope of the journal (vertebrate orofacial and dental tissues and bone, from the standpoint of anatomy, biophysics, biochemistry, genetics, immunology, microbiology, pharmacology, or physiology). Manuscripts that have passed an initial screening by the Associate Editors are reviewed by three experts in the field. The Associate Editors select the reviewers and make the final decision on the manuscript. If necessary, the Editor-in-chief can ask the opinion of the fourth external reviewer. Referees who review a manuscript remain unknown to the authors.

Submission of Manuscripts

Submit the manuscript, including all photographs and other illustration, to the online article & journal management system, IJOB-JAMS (https://kijob.jams.or.kr). Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. If a manuscript is accepted for publication, it may not be published elsewhere in the same form without the written permission of the Editor-in-chief.
