作為該領(lǐng)域的第一本開放獲取期刊，《口腔微生物學(xué)雜志》的目標(biāo)是成為一個(gè)有影響力的知識(shí)來源，了解口腔傳染病背后的病因。該雜志是一個(gè)關(guān)于“口腔健康”各個(gè)方面的原創(chuàng)研究的國(guó)際論壇。試圖通過探索口腔感染的發(fā)病機(jī)制、毒性、宿主-寄生蟲相互作用和免疫學(xué)來了解“口腔健康”的文章尤其令人感興趣。然而，該雜志也歡迎處理口腔傳染病全球議程的工作，以及提出治療和預(yù)防新戰(zhàn)略或改進(jìn)現(xiàn)有戰(zhàn)略的文章。

As the first Open Access journal in its field, the Journal of Oral Microbiology aims to be an influential source of knowledge on the aetiological agents behind oral infectious diseases. The journal is an international forum for original research on all aspects of 'oral health'. Articles which seek to understand 'oral health' through exploration of the pathogenesis, virulence, host-parasite interactions, and immunology of oral infections are of particular interest. However, the journal also welcomes work that addresses the global agenda of oral infectious diseases and articles that present new strategies for treatment and prevention or improvements to existing strategies.
