eCM provides an interdisciplinary forum for publication of research in the musculoskeletal system and dental field, and the materials used in the replacement, repair or regeneration of these tissues. Cross-disciplinary papers that go across our scope areas are particularly welcomed. The clinical relevance of the work must be included within the abstract, Introduction and Discussion (regardless from which field below). Incremental steps in research will not be entertained by eCM journal and will be sent directly back to the authors.
