The International Journal of Orthopedics Research and Rheumatology (IJORR) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal dedicated to advancing orthopedic medicine and rheumatology through comprehensive research and global perspectives. As a trusted resource for researchers, healthcare professionals, and clinicians worldwide, IJORR focuses on muscle, bone, and joint pain issues that impact daily life, covering natural history, pathophysiological processes, therapeutic approaches, and outcomes in rheumatic conditions. By disseminating high-value orthopedic research under Creative Commons Attribution License, the journal fosters open access, enabling unrestricted sharing of knowledge and innovations in joint pain management, surgical interventions, and rheumatic therapies. Our commitment to rigorous peer review by expert editorial board members ensures quality, relevance, and enhancement of scholarly standards in orthopedics and rheumatology. All manuscripts are evaluated to uphold integrity and community advancement, providing a platform for original research, reviews, case reports, perspectives, and commentaries that drive medical progress.

Our Article Processing Charge (APC) of $1,150 is crafted to support IJORR's mission of orthopedic and rheumatic excellence. This fee covers essential services such as expert peer review, professional editing and formatting, and seamless online dissemination through advanced digital platforms. It also includes investments in hardware, software, and long-term digital preservation in secure repositories, guaranteeing your research's accessibility for future clinical applications and patient care. Authors publishing in IJORR benefit from enhanced visibility in orthopedic databases, increased citation potential, and opportunities to influence treatment protocols, joint pain management, and rheumatic disease strategies. We welcome submissions of editorials, original research, review articles, case reports, and perspectives, all reviewed to elevate scholarly standards and community progress in orthopedics and rheumatology.

To promote equitable contributions to orthopedic research, IJORR adheres to a comprehensive Waiver Policy. We recognize that funding availability can vary significantly, so we offer substantial waivers for deserving authors whose institutions lack financial support or for those from low-income economies. These waivers, whether partial or full, are evaluated on a case-by-case basis to promote inclusivity and encourage global contributions. Requests must be submitted to the journal before manuscript submission to ensure fair consideration. This policy underscores our commitment to accessibility, allowing talented researchers to publish without financial hurdles.

Additionally, our Withdrawal Policy ensures transparency and fairness in the publication process. Authors may withdraw their article before the plagiarism check at no cost. However, if withdrawal occurs after the plagiarism check (within 24 hours) and formatting, a fee of $189 applies. For manuscripts that have undergone peer review and are prepared for publication, the fee increases to $459. Once an article is published, the withdrawal fee is $549. These charges reflect the resources invested in the process and align with our open-access model, where fees are non-refundable upon payment to cover editorial, review, and dissemination costs.

Publishing with IJORR positions you at the forefront of orthopedics and rheumatology innovation, where your work can alleviate joint pain, improve mobility, and enhance patient quality of life. With no submission fees and flexible payment options like credit cards or institutional transfers, the process is user-friendly.
