History

IBMS started as the Parathyroid Conferences which took place as a triennial event from 1960 to 1977. In 1980 the group was incorporated in Quebec, Canada under the name International Conferences on Calcium Regulating Hormones (ICCRH). In 1995 the name was changed to IBMS and it was registered as a 501(c)(3) organization with headquarters in Washington, DC.

IBMS has been in the forefront of the field and currently holds annual scientific meetings and publishes the scientific journal "Bone". IBMS also supports and publishes "IBMS BoneKEy", the only free, open access knowledge environment in the field of bone and mineral metabolism.

IBMS BoneKEy

IBMS BoneKEy is the largest open access knowledge environment in the field of bone and mineral metabolism. With over 18,000 subscribers, IBMS BoneKEy provides its members not only with an extensive online directory and calendar of events but also with path- breaking Perspectives, original Commentaries, and up to date News.

BONE

"BONE" is the official journal of the International Bone & Mineral Society, and is considered one of the most powerful research tools in the field. "BONE" has an unsurpassed reputation for excellence. The Journal is an interdisciplinary forum for the rapid publication of original, experimental or clinical studies, and review articles dealing with both normal and pathological processes which occur in bone or in other tissues affecting bone metabolism. Well-documented case reports are also featured. Particular attention is placed on the application of experimental studies to clinical practice.
