Archives of Oral Biology

Archives of Oral Biology is an Elsevier monthly that has covered the biology behind dentistry since 1959, and it publishes from Oxford.《口腔生物学文献集》是爱思唯尔出版的月刊，从 1959 年起就做牙科背后的生物学，出版地在牛津。

Its 2025 impact factor is 2.3 with a five-year figure of 2.5, and it ranks 67th of 165 in dentistry, oral surgery and medicine.2025 年影响因子 2.3，五年值 2.5，在牙科与口腔外科类目 165 种刊里排第 67。

Scopus gives it a CiteScore of 4.1, which is higher than the impact factor because the window is four years rather than two.Scopus 给的 CiteScore 是 4.1，比影响因子高，因为统计窗口是四年而不是两年。

The journal carries laboratory work on teeth, gums, saliva and the craniofacial skeleton, and it looks for mechanism rather than for a clinical series.刊物收的是牙齿，牙龈，唾液与颅面骨骼方面的实验研究，看重机制而不看重病例序列。

Every submission is refereed, and the journal runs a single anonymized review with at least two outside readers.所有投稿都经评审，用的是单匿名制，至少两位外审。

Scope

• The aims statement opens with developmental biology, cell and molecular biology and molecular genetics, and it keeps those three at the front of the list.宗旨声明从发育生物学，细胞与分子生物学，分子遗传学讲起，这三项排在最前。

• Immunology, pathogenesis and microbiology follow, and each of them is treated as a route into oral disease rather than a subject in itself.免疫学，发病机制与微生物学紧随其后，每一项都当作通向口腔疾病的路径，而不当作独立学科。

• The biology of dental caries and periodontal disease has its own line, which marks those two conditions as the journal's oldest concerns.龋病与牙周病的生物学单列一行，这两个病是刊物最老的研究对象。

• Forensic dentistry and neuroscience are named next, and the second of those covers pain and the nerve supply of the mouth.后面接着是法医牙科学与神经科学，后者涵盖口腔疼痛与神经支配。

• Salivary biology, mastication and swallowing, comparative anatomy and palaeodontology close the list, which gives the journal a comparative and evolutionary margin.唾液生物学，咀嚼与吞咽，比较解剖学，古牙科学收尾，刊物因此带上一块比较与演化的边角。

• Expert reviews are welcomed, and so are papers that advance a method the field depends on.专家综述受欢迎，推动领域所依赖的方法的稿子同样受欢迎。

• Clinical papers are considered only where they add to the understanding of a disease process, and that condition is stated in the scope text.临床稿只在有助于理解某一疾病过程时才被考虑，这个条件写在范围文本里。

• Original papers and review articles are the two accepted forms, and the journal draws no line between full papers and short communications.受理的形式是原创论文与综述两类，刊物不把全文与短讯分开对待。

• Editorial commentaries appear by invitation only, and unsolicited ones are not part of the flow.编辑评论只按约稿发表，主动投来的不在流程之内。

• Editors screen a submission before review, and a paper that clears that step goes to at least two referees.编辑先过一遍稿子再决定送审，过了这一关的至少交两位审稿人。

• An author may appeal a decision once, and the appeal must follow the publisher's procedure for it.作者可以申诉一次，申诉须按出版方的程序走。

• Special issues pass through the same review, with a guest editor allowed to send papers out and to recommend a decision while the journal editor keeps the final word.专刊走同一套评审，客座编辑可以送审并提出建议，最终决定权仍在刊物编辑手里。

• The publisher reports 8 days from submission to first decision and 100 days to acceptance, with 2 days from acceptance to online publication.出版方报的数字是从投稿到首次决定 8 天，到录用 100 天，录用后 2 天上线。

• Open access carries an article processing charge of 3,500 dollars before tax, while the subscription route costs the author nothing.开放获取的文章处理费是税前 3500 美元，走订阅路线则作者不付费。

• An editor with a personal stake in a paper is kept out of its handling, and that rule applies to co-authors and close colleagues as well.与稿子有利害关系的编辑不参与处理，这条规矩同样适用于共同作者与关系密切的同事。
