The Korean Journal of Orthodontics (KJO) is an international, open access, peer reviewed journal published in January, March, May, July, September, and November each year. It was first launched in 1970 and, as the official scientific publication of Korean Association of Orthodontists, KJO aims to publish high quality clinical and scientific original research papers in all areas related to orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. Specifically, its interest focuses on evidence-based investigations of contemporary diagnostic procedures and treatment techniques, expanding to significant clinical reports of diverse treatment approaches.
The scope of KJO covers all areas of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics including successful diagnostic procedures and treatment planning, growth and development of the face and its clinical implications, appliance designs, biomechanics, TMJ disorders and adult treatment. Specifically, its latest interest focuses on skeletal anchorage devices, orthodontic appliance and biomaterials, 3 dimensional imaging techniques utilized for dentofacial diagnosis and treatment planning, and orthognathic surgery to correct skeletal disharmony in association of orthodontic treatment.
The KJO accepts original research articles, selected case reports, invited narrative reviews, and reader’s forum queries. The manuscripts submitted to KJO are processed through online edit system for expedient and efficient submission, review and edit procedures. As of January of 2012, KJO (abbreviated as 'Korean J Orthod') is indexed in SCIE, SCOPUS, PubMed Central (PMC), Google Scholar, DOI/Crossref, Korea Citation Index (KCI), KoreaMed, KoreaMed Synapse and KoMCI. The KJO is financially supported by the Korean Association of Orthodontists.
