Biosurface and Biotribology
"Biosurface and Biotribology publishes high quality papers on the surface and tribology associated with bio-systems. The scope includes all aspects of tribology-based science and technology on natural bio-surfaces, natural organs and tissues, body fluids, bio-materials and coatings, interfaces between biological tissues and medical, sport devices or articles for daily use as well as bionic tribo-designs. Original research articles, topical reviews, case reports and short communications are welcome."
Journal of Biomedical Engineering & Medical Devices
"The Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Medical Devices is an academic journal providing an opportunity to researchers and scientists to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of Biomedical Engineering and related disciplines. The Journal is of highest standards in terms of quality. The Journal sought to publish articles related to Bioinstrumentation, Biomaterials, Nano materials for biomedical engineering and devices. Biomechanics, Cellular tissue and genetic engineering, Medical electronics, Clinical engineering, Medical imaging, Orthopedic surgery, Rehabilitation engineering, Systems physiology and many more. The Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Medical Devices is a scholarly Open Access journal and aims to publish the most complete and reliable source of information on the advanced and very latest research topics."
