reputation through its work with some of the greatest names in the
field. By creating the new Bone & Joint portal, the journal is
building on its 60-year legacy to provide the orthopaedic community
with a host of new tools and services designed to reflect the evolving
needs of its authors and readers, and to help them excel in their
research and clinical practice.
Semantically driven, the portal will make it easier to find relevant
