Journal updates

We are pleased to announce that Biomedical Engineering Letters has been newly included in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) of Web of Science. Consequently, articles published from Volume 9 (2019) onward will be indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection. Further, the journal expects to receive its first Journal Impact Factor (JIF) in the June 2022 release of Journal Citation Reports (JCR).  Previously, the journal was added to SCOPUS, PubMedCentral, Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) and many other abstract and citation databases. 

The SCIE indexing is a significant milestone for the journal, and would not have been possible without the concerted efforts of many people. We would like to thank all the authors, reviewers, and guest editors for their outstanding support and contribution.
