Aims & Scope:
Annals of Stomatology is a peer-reviewed journal published every 4 months. The journal is committed to publishing the full range of topics in the fields of experimental and clinical dentistry and maxillofacial surgery, and the single most important criterion for acceptance is scientific excellence. Articles must therefore, pose and test a significant hypothesis that will provide novel perspectives and approaches to understanding these topics and will stimulate the interest of the broad readership of the journal.
Annals of Stomatology Open Access Initiative
The advent of online publication has greatly improved access to scientific content on a global scale. This has led to calls from the academic community for research publications to be made freely available online and immediately upon publication, without the barrier of paid subscription access.
In response to these calls and following consultation with journal contributors, the Editors of Ann Stomatol have now launched the Open Access initiative. This means manuscripts submitted and accepted after peer review will be published in Ann Stomatol with open access under the CC BY license.
