Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Health Technology
Bridges engineering, quantitative science and health technology, including devices, diagnostics, imaging and digital health systems. Studies should explain design requirements, validation conditions and relevant safety or usability considerations without extending claims beyond the evidence.
Journal aim and scope
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. The section descriptions below provide more detailed guidance on topic fit.
Academic sections
The scope is organized into named sections so authors can identify the closest disciplinary route. Review each section description before selecting a journal.
Article types
Article type does not by itself determine suitability. The manuscript must fit the journal’s subject scope and meet the relevant standards for evidence, reporting, ethics and transparency.
