As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.

Announcing the launch of In Review
BioMedical Engineering Online, in partnership with Research Square, is now offering In Review. Authors choosing this free optional service will be able to:
- Share their work with fellow researchers to read, comment on, and cite even before publication
- Showcase their work to funders and others with a citable DOI while it is still under review
- Track their manuscript - including seeing when reviewers are invited, and when reports are received

Aims and scope
BioMedical Engineering OnLine is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that is dedicated to publishing research in all areas of biomedical engineering.
BioMedical Engineering OnLine is aimed at readers and authors throughout the world with an interest in using tools of the physical and data sciences, and techniques in engineering, to understand and solve problems in the biological and medical sciences. Read more.
Call for papers on Ophthalmic image analysis
Submissions are invited to a special collection in Biomedical Engineering Online on “Ophthalmic image analysis”. The cost of blindness to society and individuals is huge, and many conditions can be avoided by early detection and intervention. Early and reliable diagnosis strategies and effective treatments are therefore a world priority. Read more.
Call for papers on Innovation and step-change in mechanical ventilation
Submissions are invited to a special collection in Biomedical Engineering Online on “Innovation and step-change in mechanical ventilation”. The spike in demand for mechanical ventilation as a result of COVID-19 has highlighted the need for greater productivity and personalisation in mechanical ventilation (MV) care. Read more.
Risk and reward: extending stochastic glycaemic control intervals to reduce workload
A framework for glycemic control of critically ill patients, that is personalized and risk-based, can be safely performed with a lower measurement frequency, reducing the intensive care workload.
Thematic series
BioMedical-Engineering OnLine has published the following thematic series:
Advanced signal processing and modeling for neuroengineering
Trends in e-health and m-health: technology developments for improved healthcare
Artificial intelligence in biomedical imaging
Advances in medical robotics and automation for surgery and rehabilitation
Advances in neuroimaging: insights into neurological and psychiatric disease
Our data and software availability policy
Our journal’s policy is for all data, previously unreported software or custom code described in the manuscript to be made freely available for any scientist wishing to use them for non-commercial purposes, without breaching participant confidentiality. All authors must include an ‘Availability of Data and Materials’ section in their manuscript, detailing where the data, software or code supporting their findings can be found. Authors who do not wish to share their data and materials must state that it will not be shared, and give the reason. However, these authors are still expected to make their data and materials available to reviewers on a confidential basis. Please see BioMed Central’s Editorial policies page for more information.
