The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Statement file
Manuscript should be accompanied by the authors' Statement concerning the submitted to the Acta of Bioengineering and Biomechanics Editorial Office article. Statement should equipped with the original signatures of all co-authors.
Transfer of Copyright Agreement
In order to protect creative works of authors from plagiarism and other unlawful uses as well as to protect work and investments of the publisher in the production, marketing and distribution of the articles written by the authors, the publisher requests a formal written transfer of copyright from the author(s) for each article published.

Please complete and return this form promptly.
Online Submission
Authors should submit the manuscripts online. Please follow the hyperlink "Paper submission" on the right and upload all of your manuscript files following the instructions.
THE MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION SHOULD INCLUDE:
Title: the title should be short and informative, and should not contain an abbreviations.
Abstract: abstract should contains 150-250 words. Abbreviations and special characters are not permitted. It should be divided into: purpose, methods, results, conclusions.
Keywords: 3-6 key words should be given for subject indexing.
Body text including References: a maximum of 25 references should be provided, styled according to the instructions for authors.
Tables and high quality figures.
AUTHORS' Information
The Authors' information should contain:
The order of the list of authors is unequivocal with the order of the authors' list in the article. Each author should indicate the institution and department name, city and country.
Author to whom correspondence and request of reprints of published paper will be send have to provide mailing address, telephone number, fax number and e-mail address. The role and contribution of each co-author in the manuscript preparation should be determine by the following categories:
A. The preparation of the research program
B. The execution of research
C. The statistical analysis
D. The interpretation of data
E. Preparation of the manuscript
Ghostwriting and guest authorship
"Ghostwriting" and "guest authorship" is a manifestation of scientific dishonesty, and any detected cases will expose, including notification of relevant subjects (institutions employing the authors, scientific societies, scientific associations of editors, etc.).
ABSTRACT
Please provide a structured abstract which should be divided into the following sections:
Purpose (stating the main purposes and research question),
Methods,
Results,
Conclusions.
Abstract should contains 150-250 words. Abbreviations and special characters are
not permitted.
KEYWORDS
Please provide 3 to 6 keywords which can be used for indexing purposes.
TEXT FORMATTING

The text of articles must be divided into sections with headers:
Introduction - state the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
Materials and Methods - provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described.
Results - should be clear and concise.

REFERENCES
Citation in manuscript text: Reference citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets. Citations must be included alphabetically. Some examples:
The methods and the application of infrared spectroscopy are described in previous part [1].
This result was later contradicted to Adams [5].
The technique is considered as non-invasive [2]-[7].
Reference list
The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication (cited by DOI number). Footnotes or endnotes used as a substitute for a reference list is not permitted. The entries in the list should be numbered consecutively:

PERMISSIONS
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
REVIEW PROCEDURE
Each submitted to Acta of Bioengineering and Biomechanics Editorial Office article is recorded in the articles database. Editor in Chief decides about pre-qualification for publication in the journal, assesses whether the submitted manuscript is consistent with the journal area of interest and decides on the selection of two independent reviewers from outside the scientific institution of the authors. Reviewers of the Acta of Bioengineering and Biomechanics are specialists in the scientific area to which concern the submitted paper.
Reviewers can undertake four decisions on the submitted work:
Accept without amendments
Take after minor corrections
Re-evaluate after major revision
Reject
After receiving two compatible reviews, Editor in Chief prepares substantive review of manuscript done on the basis of the opinion of two reviewers and sends it to the Corresponding Author in the form of an editorial letter. In case of conflicting reviews, Editor in Chief appoints a third reviewer, whose decision is binding.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The authors of each article will receive 20 reprints of Acta of Bioengineering and Biomechanics free of charge.
