Journals

Annals of Biomedical Engineering
ABME is an international interdisciplinary journal published as the official journal of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES). It publishes original articles in the fields of bioengineering and biomedical engineering as well as review articles, special communications (e.g., methods, technical reports), rapid communications, history and teaching articles, book reviews, and letters to the editor.

BONE
BONE is the official journal of the International Bone and Mineral Society, which promotes the generation and dissemination of knowledge of basic biology and clinical science of the skeleton and mineral metabolism.

Calcified Tissue International
The official journal of the European Calcified Tissue Society, Calcified Tissue International began publication in 1967 as Calcified Tissue Research and adopted its current name with with volume 27 in 1979. CTI publishes original research, emphasizing the structure and function of bone and other mineralized systems in living organisms. CTI serves as a forum on exploration of the biochemical, biophysical, molecular, and clinical aspects of the structure, function, and metabolism of bone and other mineralized systems in living organisms.

Journal of Biomechanical Engineering
The official publication of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Journal of Biomechanics
The Journal of Biomechanics is affiliated with the American Society of Biomechanics, the European Society of Biomechanics, the International Society of Biomechanics, the Japanese Society for Clinical Biomechanics and Related Research, and the Australian and New Zealand Society of Biomechanics.

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery
Originally Transactions of the American Orthopedic Association (1889), next American Journal of Orthopedic Surgery (1903), and then Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery (1919, when it became additionally the official publication of the British Orthopaedic Association), the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery adopted its present name in 1922. It was adopted as the official organ of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons shortly after that group’s founding in 1933. Separate American (“A”) and British (“B”) versions have been published since 1948.

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research
JBMR is the official publication of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research. In contrast to JBJS (see above), whose audience has historically comprised orthopaedic surgeons, JBMR’s audience was originally endocrinologists. Both journals have more general audiences today. JBMR is the highest-ranked bone research journal, with an impact factor of 6.329, ranking tenth among all biology and biochemistry journals (ScienceWatch May/June 2003).

Journal of Orthopaedic Research
JOR is the official publication of the Orthopaedic Research Society. It provides a forum for rapid publication of manuscripts reporting new information on basic science, bioengineering and clinical aspects of orthopaedic research.

Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing
The bimonthly journal of the International Federation for Medical and Biological Engineering. It publishes technical papers on biomechanics, biomedical engineering, clinical engineering, computing and data processing, modeling, instrumentation, medical physics and imaging, physiological measurement, rehabilitation engineering, and transducers and electrodes.
