Peer Review Process
1. Initial Technical Screening
Editorial office evaluates scope fit, technical merit, and formatting compliance. Manuscripts outside biomedical science/engineering focus are desk-rejected with redirection guidance.
2. Expert Peer Review
Manuscripts are assigned to specialists in relevant engineering disciplines (e.g., biomechanics, materials science, medical device development). Reviewers assess methodology, reproducibility, innovation, and technical rigor.
3. Editorial Decision
Associate editors synthesize reviewer feedback and make recommendations to the Editor-in-Chief. Authors receive constructive comments regardless of outcome.
4. Revision & Resubmission
Authors address technical concerns, improve experimental design descriptions, or provide additional validation data. Revised manuscripts undergo expedited re-review.
5. Final Acceptance & Publication
Accepted manuscripts proceed to copyediting, author proof approval, and online publication with DOI assignment and indexing.
