INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY

The INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY (ISSN 0901-5027) is a monthly peer-reviewed journal published in Copenhagen, Denmark, by Elsevier. It has an impact factor of 2.9 (2022) and is indexed in SCIE (Science Citation Index Expanded). It is not an open-access (OA) journal, and according to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) classification, it falls under the Q3 category in the field of dentistry, oral surgery, and medicine. The journal focuses on clinical and research topics related to oral and maxillofacial surgery, including craniofacial trauma, orthognathic surgery, implantology, and reconstructive surgery, with an emphasis on innovative techniques and evidence-based practices. It is considered a reputable journal in its field, attracting high-quality submissions from leading researchers, though its relatively moderate impact factor suggests it may not be the top-tier journal in the discipline. Potential risks for authors include competitive submission rates and rigorous peer-review standards, but its association with Elsevier and SCI indexing ensures broad visibility and credibility.
