Manuscripts accepted for publication but not yet edited following eCM guidelines can be found here.

eCM Journal has now adopted use of the updated ARRIVE guidelines for studies with animals. When such manuscripts are submitted, authors must go through the "Essential 10 checklist".

eCM reviewers can now receive Publons credit for their review. They can track, verify and showcase their peer review and editorial contributions on Publons.

Bone Mechanics and Mechanobiology Special Issue: This Special Issue aims to provide a current overview of the complex interplay between the mechanics and biology of bone health, highlighting novel insights across all scales from the protein through the cell to the tissue and organ, afforded by advances in imaging, experimental mechanics, simulation, in vitro and in vivo model systems. Researchers studying all aspects of bone mechanics and mechanobiology, with a strong link to bone metabolism, are encouraged to submit original research or review articles to this Special Issue.
Submission deadline: 31st of December 2021
