INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS

International Orthopaedics (ISSN 0341-2695) is a monthly peer-reviewed journal published by Springer in Germany, serving as a prominent venue for high-quality research in the field of orthopedic surgery. The journal encompasses a broad spectrum of clinical and basic scientific investigations, with a particular emphasis on trauma, joint replacement, spine surgery, sports medicine, and bone tumors, while actively encouraging the integration of multi-center studies and innovative technological applications. As a non-open access publication indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), it maintains a solid reputation within the medical community, typically ranking in the 3rd or 4th quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal classification with an impact factor of approximately 2.8. Although the journal’s moderate impact factor may limit its appeal to researchers exclusively targeting the highest-tier publications, its rigorous peer-review process, low acceptance rate, and established traditional standing in orthopedics make it a respected and competitive choice for scholars seeking to disseminate significant clinical and translational findings to a specialized international audience.
