About the journal
|
 |
Annals of Biomedical Engineering is an interdisciplinary, international journal which presents original articles in the major fields of bioengineering and biomedical engineering, as well as technical reports, special communications on methods and technology, rapid communications, history and teaching articles, and letters to the editor.
A major aim of bioengineering is to provide integrated approaches to the solutions of biological and biomedical problems. The philosophy is to provide engineering approaches to enhance the power of the scientific method, while maintaining a balance between experimental observation and quantitative analyses. The development of theory and of mathematical models is strongly endorsed provided they are evaluated wherever possible using biological data from experiments that test specific hypotheses.
This is the official journal of the Biomedical Engineering Society.

Guiding Principles for Research
Manuscript Size and Format
1) Manuscripts must not exceed approximately 20 double spaced pages, uploaded in a single file. The manuscript must have 1” margins and 12 point Times New Roman or Arial font. The page count includes references and but not figures or tables. Authors should limit figures to a manageable number (6-8 should suffice). Authors may consider publishing illustrations in excess of 8 as Electronic Supplementary Material. Occasional exceptions to these guidelines will be made at the editor’s discretion. All copy must be double-spaced, including text, footnotes, references, legends, and tables. Tables and figures should be referred to in the manuscript in a sequential manner.
2) Pages should be numbered consecutively beginning with the title page. Each section should be clearly labeled. Pages should be arranged in the following order:
1. Title page
2. Abstract and key terms
3. Introduction
4. Materials and Methods
5. Results
6. Discussion
7. Acknowledgments
8. References
9. Tables, figure legends
3) Each table should be typed on a separate page and double−spaced.
4) Figure captions should be typed double spaced on a separate page.
5) Figures should be identified with figure number and name of first author.
6) The text should be clear and concise, conforming to accepted standards of English style and usage. Unfamiliar or new terms should be defined when first used.
Title:
The title should be informative. It should contain no unnecessary words and should not exceed 116 characters including spaces between words. The title page should have the title of the article, author(s), department and institution in which the work was done with address, an abbreviated title for the running head (not exceeding 55 characters including spaces between words), name and address for correspondence, and a contact telephone number, FAX number, and email.
Abstract:
A one−paragraph abstract of not more than 200 words must accompany each manuscript. It should state concisely the reason for the study, what was done, what was found, what was concluded, and the relevance.
Key Terms:
After the abstract, list three to ten terms not included in the title.
Abbreviations, symbols, and terminology:
Include in the manuscript a list of new or special abbreviations used in the paper, with spelled−out form or definition. Frequently used abbreviations need only be defined at first mention. For commonly accepted abbreviations, word usage, symbols, etc., authors are referred to the CBE Style Manual (sixth edition, 1994). Chemical and biochemical terms and abbreviations should be in accordance with the recommendations of the IUPAC−IUB Combined Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature. Isotope specification should conform to the IUPAC system.
Glossary of terms:
When only a few symbols and terms are used, define each one when it is first introduced.
The definition should include:
1) the symbol (Roman or Greek),
2) its name,
3) a definition in words, and
4) units.
Units:
Authors should use the International System of Units (SI) except where common usage contradicts. Authors may follow the SI units with the equivalent value in common units (usually c.g.s. system) in parentheses. Units with more than two components should be written without slashes or dots, using superscripts, as in ml g −1 s −1 for flow per gram of tissue. Units such as ml/g/s are unacceptable.
Spelling:
Follow Webster's Third New International Dictionary for spelling, compounding, and word division.
Drugs, Chemicals, and Trade Names:
Proprietary (trademarked) names should be capitalized. Check spelling. The chemical or generic name should precede the trade name or abbreviation the first time it appears.
Footnotes:
Avoid footnotes. Use parenthetic statements in the text instead.
Acknowledgments:
At the end of the article one or more statements should specify
(a) contributions that do not justify authorship;
(b) technical help;
(c) financial and material support, specifying the nature of the support;
(d) financial relationships that may pose a conflict of interest.
Manuscripts should meet the requirements outlined above to avoid delay in review and publication. With the exception of the style and ordering of the references, these style requirements match the "Uniform Requirements" published by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (Ann. Intern. Med. 126:36−−47, 1997). An online version of the "Uniform Requirements" can be viewed at the end of the chapter.
ABME discourages submissions of routine computational simulations that produce easily anticipated results, lack experimental validation, or represent incremental advancements of understanding.
Papers must be submitted via upload in a word processing format, preferably in Microsoft Word. Authors can submit LaTex manuscripts as is through our online submission process. Our software can accept LaTeX manuscripts, and usually formats them properly when converting them to PDF. Errors that occur in the conversion to PDF will be fixed when the paper is being prepared for publication. However, Microsoft Word files are preferred for upload.
Persons who have contributed intellectually to the paper but whose contributions do not justify authorship may be named and their function or contribution described. For example, "scientific advisor," "critical review of study proposal," "data collection," or "participation in clinical trial" are appropriate. Such persons must have given their permission to be named. Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission from persons acknowledged by name.
Reviewers and Associate Editor
Authors must suggest at least one (1) Associate Editor to oversee their manuscript, and also suggest at least four (4) potential reviewers. Reviewer suggestions must include email addresses. However, there is no guarantee that the suggested associate editor or reviewers will be used. Authors must also select five (5) classifications for their manuscript. Authors should also add personal classifications if they like.
Submission
Manuscripts are to be submitted on−line at the link below.
http://abme.edmgr.com
Research Articles
Research manuscripts must be original papers, submitted in English. Language must conform to acceptable English usage and syntax. The contents must be clear, accurate, coherent, and logical. In accepting or rejecting a manuscript, the editors will also consider its originality, teaching value, and validity. Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that the same work has not been and will not be published elsewhere, that all persons listed as authors have given their approval for the submission of the paper and further, that any person cited as a source of personal communications or whose effort is recognized in an acknowledgment has approved such citation. Written authorization may be required at the Editor's discretion. Articles published in the ANNALS represent the opinions of the author(s) and should not be construed to reflect the opinions of the Editor(s) or the Publisher.
Revisions
Manuscripts are considered for up to two revisions only. If a manuscript cannot be accepted after the second revision, it will no longer be considered.
References and Citation Format
References are limited to pertinent published works or papers that have been accepted for publication. Usually this is achieved with fewer than 30 references. An abstract may be cited only when it is the sole source.
References should be typed separately, double−spaced, arranged alphabetically by author, and numbered serially, with only one reference per number. The number appropriate to each reference should be superscripted at the proper point in the text. The formats are:
Journal articles. Last name of first author, followed by initials, initials and last names of each coauthor; title of article (first word only capitalized); name of journal (abbreviated as in Serial Sources for the BIOSIS Data Base, published by BioSciences Information Service), volume, inclusive pages, and year.

References to government technical documents should be included only when their availability is assured. Citations such as "unpublished observations" or "personal communication" should not be included in the reference list but may be added in parentheses in the text. Authors are responsible for obtaining permissions for reproduced material, cited correspondence.
Figures
Figures published in the journal may be scanned using a digital scanner and integrated with the text of the article to compose completely electronic pages. Please conform with the following guidelines when preparing your illustrations for submission.
Submission of Electronic Figures, General
Authors are requested to supply electronic versions of figures in either Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) or TIFF format. Many other formats, e.g., Proprietary Formats, PiCT (Macintosh) and WMF (Windows), are discouraged and may require hard copy submission.
Figures should be saved in separate files without their captions, which should be included with the text of the article. Files should be named according to DOS conventions, e.g., figure1.eps. For vector graphics, EPS is the preferred format. Lines should not be thinner than 0.25pts and in−fill patterns and screens should have a density of at least 10%. Font−related problems can be avoided by using standard fonts such as Times Roman and Helvetica. For bitmapped graphics, TIFF is the preferred format. The following resolutions are optimal: black−and−white line figures — 1200 dpi; line figures with some gray or colored lines — 600 dpi; photographs — 300 dpi; screen dumps — leave as is.
Submission of Scanned Figures
Number figures in the order in which they appear in text. Label illustrations with their number, the name of the first author, and "ABME" on the front of the figure well outside the image area. Indicate the top of the figure.
Place only one figure per page. Place separate parts of the same figure on one sheet of paper, spaced 1/4 in. apart and leaving a 2−inch bottom margin. Label all figure parts with (a), (b), etc. Make sure each figure is straight on the page. Photocopies of artwork are not acceptable.
Prepare illustrations in the final published size, not over−sized. Figures should be sized for one column width of the journal (3.25 in.) in order to avoid problems arising from large reductions in size during scanning. This is especially important for screened or shaded illustration. Reduction of screened/shaded originals during the digitizing process introduces a Moir pattern.
Do not use correction fluid or tape on the illustrations. The scanner is extremely sensitive and reproduces all flaws (e.g., correction fluid, tape, smudges, dust). Do not write on the back of the figure because it will be picked up by the scanner.
Ensure a minimum of 8−point type size (2.8 mm high; 1/8 in. high) and 1−point line width with illustrations (a 3−point line width if reduction is required.) Avoid inconsistencies in lettering within individual figures, and from one figure to the next. Lettering and symbols must not be handwritten. Avoid small open symbols that tend to fill in if any reduction is necessary.
Author's laser−generated graphics are acceptable only if the lettering and lines are dark enough, and thick enough, to reproduce clearly, especially if reduction is necessary. Remember that fine lines in laser−generated graphics tend to disappear upon reduction.
Submit continuous−tone photographs in final published size on white glossy or matte paper. Avoid glossy paper stock that is off−white, ivory, or colored because contrast within the illustration will be lost in reproduction. Print the photograph with more contrast than is desired in the final printed journal page. Avoid dull, textured paper stock, which will cause illustrations to lose contrast and detail when reproduced.
All color images submitted will be published in full color in print and online at no extra charge.
The approximate position of each figure should be indicated in the manuscript.
Tables
Statistical summary tables are acceptable. Tables with many lines of individual values may be submitted as Supplementary Material (see below).
Number tables consecutively with Arabic numerals and prepare with the size of the journal page in mind: 3.25 inches wide, single column; 6.75 inches wide, double column
Type each table double−spaced on a separate page.
Give each table a brief title; explanatory matter should be in footnotes, not in the title.
Tables must not duplicate material in text or figures.
Omit horizontal and vertical rules when possible.
Omit non-significant decimal places in tabular data.
Use short or abbreviated column heads and expand in footnotes if necessary.
Identify statistical measures of variations, e.g., SD, s.e.m., etc.
List table footnotes in the order of their appearance and reference them with the standard symbols (* | ? ) — consecutive superior letters should be used throughout.
The approximate position of each table should be indicated in the manuscript.
Mathematical Formulas and Equations
Mathematical aspects should be addressed to readers who are not mathematicians. The presentation should include the mathematical strategy, the assumptions on which the mathematics are based, and a summary of the meaning of the final mathematical statement and its limitations. Lengthy or complex mathematical developments central to the article may be put in an appendix.
Structural chemical formulas and complicated mathematical equations should be simplified as much as possible and carefully checked. All subscripts, superscripts, Greek letters, and other unusual characters must be clearly identified in penciled notes in the margin where they first appear. Distinguish between 1 (one) and the letter l (el), 0 (zero) and the letter O, Ç and letter x. Use the slant line (/) for simple fractions (a b)/(x y) in the text rather than the built up fraction, which should be used if the equation is offset from the text. Use subscripts or superscripts wherever feasible and appropriate, because they often simplify the equations [RARD instead of RARD or (RA) (RD)]. Use circles for pools in compartmental or flow−type models and whole arrows for interconnections or flows (not arrows with half−heads, as in reversible chemical equations). Do not use nonstandard mathematical notations; e.g., do not use computer symbols in equations (* for multiplication). Use lowercase letters for time−varying symbols in compartmental model equations, preferably q(t) for masses, c(t) for concentrations, with subscripts as needed. Our convention for numerical subscripts for rate constants (k21) is the same as that used in most life sciences but opposite to that currently used in pharmacokinetics, i.e., our kij is the fractional rate of transfer from compartment j to compartment i (or to compartment i from compartment j). Our notation is consistent with standard nomenclature in applied mathematics for matrices and matrix manipulation algorithms in commercial software packages for scientific/mathematical commutations involving matrices. See Glossary of terms (above).
Review Articles
Submission of review articles is usually by invitation. However, authors who wish to submit a review article should contact the editor.
Letters to the Editor
Letters to the Editor that highlight controversies, ambiguities, or misapplications of theory or method can also be considered. Letters must be typewritten, double−spaced, and include a title. They should be short. Letters are reviewed by the appropriate editor and are subject to editing and possible abridgment. If a letter is found acceptable, a copy will be sent to the author of the article under discussion. The author will have an opportunity to respond with material that will be also considered for publication.
Auxiliary Materials
The Editor, after acceptance, may recommend that auxiliary material containing important data too extensive to publish be deposited with an archival service, such as the National Auxiliary Publications Service in the United States, or otherwise made available by the authors. In that event, an appropriate statement supplied by the authors should be added to the accepted manuscript. Submit such materials for consideration along with the manuscript.
Unique Materials, Data and Computer Code
Work published in the Journal must necessarily be independently verifiable. Authors describing results derived from the use of antibodies, recombinant plasmids and cloned DNAs, mutant cell lines or viruses, and other similarly unique materials are expected to make such materials available to qualified investigators on request. Authors should also submit published nucleic acid/amino acid sequences to a widely accessible data bank.
Authors are encouraged to archive experimental methods of procedure, data, models, detailed derivations of equations, computer algorithms and subroutines.
Computer codes used for special analyses or modeling should be made available to reviewers and readers whenever possible, either through e−mail, via FTP, or other means.
Experimental Procedures
The Society endorses the principles embodied in the Declaration of Helsinki as defined in the "Guiding Principles for Research Involving Animals and Human Beings."

Guiding Principles for Research
The Declaration of Helsinki
The Biomedical Engineering Society endorses the Recommendations from the Declaration of Helsinki and the Guiding Principles in the Care and Use of Animals and insists that all investigations involving humans and all animal experimentation reported in its publications be conducted in conformity with these principles. Editors/Associate Editors are expected to refuse papers in which evidence of the adherence to these principles is not apparent. They reserve the right to judge the appropriateness of the use of animals and humans in experiments published in the journals. Differences of opinion will be adjudicated by the Publications Committee.
Basic Principles
1. Clinical research must conform to moral and scientific principles that justify medical research. It should be based on laboratory and animal experiments wherever possible, and on other scientifically established facts.
2. Clinical research should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons and with the supervision of a medically qualified person.
3. Clinical research should not be undertaken unless the importance of the objective is great compared to the inherent risk to the subject.
4. Every clinical research project should be preceded by careful assessment of inherent risks to the subject, balanced against foreseeable benefits to the subject or others.
5. Special caution should be exercised by the doctor in performing clinical research in which the personality of the subject is liable to be altered by drugs or experimental procedure.
Clinical Research Combined with Professional Care
1. In the treatment of the sick person, the doctor must be free to use a new therapeutic measure, if in his judgment it offers hope of saving life, reestablishing health, or alleviating suffering. If at all possible, consistent with patient psychology, the doctor should obtain the patient's freely given consent after the patient has been given a full explanation. In case of legal incapacity, consent should also be procured from the legal guardian; in case of physical incapacity the permission of the legal guardian replaces that of the patient.
2. The doctor can combine clinical research with professional care, the objective being the acquisition of new medical knowledge, only to the extent that clinical research is justified by its therapeutic value for the patient.
Non-Therapeutic Clinical Research
1. In the purely scientific application of clinical research carried out on a human being, it is the duty of the doctor to remain the protector of the life and health of that person on whom clinical research is being carried out.
2. The nature, the purpose and the risk of clinical research must be explained to the subject by the doctor.
3. Clinical research on a human being cannot be undertaken without his free consent after he has been informed; if he is legally incompetent, the consent of the legal guardian should be procured.
4. The subject of clinical research should be in such a mental, physical and legal state as to be able to exercise fully his power of choice.
5. Consent should, as a rule, be obtained in writing. However, the responsibility for clinical research always remains with the research worker; it never falls on the subject even after consent is obtained.
6. The investigator must respect the right of each individual to safeguard his personal integrity, especially if the subject is in any way dependent on him.
7. At any time during the course of clinical research the subject or his guardian should be free to withdraw permission for research to be continued.
The investigator or the investigating team should discontinue the research if in his/her or their judgment, it may, if continued, be harmful to the individual.
The Care and Use of Animals
Animal experiments are to be undertaken only with the purpose of advancing knowledge. Considerations should be given to the appropriateness of experimental procedures, species of animals used, and number of animals required.
Only animals that are lawfully acquired shall be used in the laboratory, and their retention and use shall be in every case in compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations, and in accordance with the NIH Guide2.
Animals used in research and education must receive every consideration for their comfort; they must be properly housed, fed, and their surroundings kept in a sanitary condition.
All experimental procedures must be carried out in accordance with the NIH Guide. Appropriate anesthetics must be used to eliminate sensibility to pain during all surgical procedures. Muscle relaxants or paralytics are not anesthetics and they must not be used alone for surgical restraint, but may be used in connection with drugs known to produce adequate analgesia. All measures to minimize pain and distress that would not compromise the experimental results must be employed. If the study requires the death of the animal, the most humane euthanasia method consistent with the study must be used.
The postoperative care of animals shall be such as to minimize discomfort and pain, and in any case shall be equivalent to accepted practices in schools of veterinary medicine.
When animals are used by students for their education or the advancement of science, the work shall be under the direct supervision of an experienced teacher/investigator. 1. Approved by the Board of The Biomedical Engineering Society, October, 1993.
