Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Health Technology

Journal overview

Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Health Technology is a journal in the EJSIR Publisher programme, focused on Biomedical Engineering and Health Technology. Its scope is organized into academic sections covering Medical Imaging, Biomedical Signal Processing, Biosensors, Medical Devices, Biomechanics, Digital Health, Health Informatics, AI for Clinical Support, Rehabilitation Engineering and Wearable Health Technologies. This structure helps authors assess disciplinary fit and gives readers a clear route through the journal’s subject coverage.

The journal welcomes original research article, review article, systematic review, short communication and other contributions described in its author guidance when they fit the scope. Appropriate work may include device design, sensor development, image or signal processing, biomaterials, software, usability evaluation and clinical or laboratory validation. Authors should report test conditions, reference standards, datasets, safety considerations, calibration and limitations, with ethics and consent information where applicable. Authors should engage relevant scholarship, explain the contribution and report limitations needed for critical assessment.

Editorial assessment considers journal fit, methodological or interpretive quality, research integrity and clarity. The stated review model is double-anonymous peer review, normally with at least two independent reviewers. Publisher policies on ethics, access, authorship, conflicts, data and corrections apply alongside this journal’s scope. Submission information is provided on this site; manuscripts can be submitted only after the journal’s submission route opens.

Academic remit

The journal aims to publish research that advances biomedical engineering and health technology through rigorous design, evaluation and validation. It welcomes new methods and systems when their technical contribution is clear and claims about diagnostic, therapeutic or clinical utility are supported by suitable evidence. The central contribution should fit at least one of the journal’s academic sections and be meaningful to readers in biomedical engineering and health technology.

Appropriate work may include device design, sensor development, image or signal processing, biomaterials, software, usability evaluation and clinical or laboratory validation. Authors should report test conditions, reference standards, datasets, safety considerations, calibration and limitations, with ethics and consent information where applicable. Authors should define the research question, connect the approach to the question, describe sources or materials and analytical choices, and provide enough information for critical assessment. Interdisciplinary work is welcome when its relevance to the journal is clear and the methods used for each component are explained.

Interpretations and claims should follow from the reported evidence. Authors should identify uncertainty, limitations and alternative explanations where relevant, and distinguish demonstrated results from implications or future work. Studies involving people, animals, sensitive data or protected material should describe applicable ethics, consent, privacy and permissions.

Prototype descriptions without evaluation, algorithmic claims without appropriate validation, and statements of clinical effectiveness based only on technical performance fall outside scope. Manuscripts outside the listed sections or lacking an assessable scholarly contribution may be declined at editorial screening.
