Its content includes original studies, reviews, technical notes, and editorials on topics such as joint replacement, fractures, sports injuries, rehabilitation, and surgical techniques.

Authors can consult detailed submission instructions, ethical standards, and artificial intelligence policies, and submit papers through the journal’s publishing platform. SICOT-J operates an article processing charge model, including a two-tier system introduced in 2021 that offers SICOT members a discount on publication fees.

The journal also provides information on language-editing services, author resources, copyright and licensing, and national agreements in France. Through open access publishing, SICOT-J makes its published research available to a broad international audience
