Osteomyelitis is a bone infection that can cause permanent functional impairment and disability in affected patients. Osteomyelitis associated with vascular insufficiency usually occurs among individuals with diabetes mellitus. Osteomyelitis is classified by duration (acute or chronic), pathogenesis (trauma, contiguous spread, hematogenous, surgical), site, extent, or patient characteristics. The prevalence of osteomyelitis has decreased throughout the years due to greater control of the spread of infection in hospitals as well as a better understanding of osteomyelitis treatment approaches. This enables the infection, in many cases, to be caught within 48 hours and prevented from becoming a chronic recurrence. This information can be published in our peer reviewed journal with impact factors and are calculated using citations not only from research articles but also review articles (which tend to receive more citations), editorials, letters, meeting abstracts, short communications, and case reports. The inclusion of these publications provides the opportunity for editors and publishers to manipulate the ratio used to calculate the impact factor and try to increase their number rapidly. Impact factor plays a major role for the particular journal. Journal with higher impact factor is considered to be more important than other ones.
