Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal: The First Five Years
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2012, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Since its first publication in 2007, much has been achieved by the Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal (MOJ), yet we know that much more is expected. We now enjoy a relatively regular submission rate of 20 to 30 articles per issue, and a good team of Editorial Board members, reviewers and administrative staff. This is an appropriate time for us to review our progress over the last five years.
