A Q&A with Editorial Board Member Seeram Ramakrishna, on BMC Biomedical Engineering

Professor Seeram Ramakrishna from the National University of Singapore speaks about his perspective onBMC Biomedical Engineering

BMC Biomedical Engineering是经过同行评审的开放访问,它考虑了有关生物医学工程各个方面的文章,包括基本,转化和临床研究。它将生物学和医学的工具和方法与数学,物理科学和工程学结合在一起,以理解人类生物学和疾病以及对人类健康的改善。

We spoke with one ofBMC Biomedical Engineering‘s Editorial Board Members (EBMs), Professor Seeram Ramakrishna from the National University of Singapore, about his perspective on the journal.

问:您何时以及如何成为EBMBMC Biomedical Engineering?

A:BMC Biomedical Engineering于2018年启动,并于2019年1月发表了第一篇文章。邀请我提交一篇评论文章BMC Biomedical Engineeringby the Editor, Dr. Lingling Tian. I was impressed with the professionalism and quality of the peer review process, and hence got interested inBMC Biomedical Engineering。Upon invitation and foresight discussions with Lingling, I gladly accepted to join the editorial board ofBMC Biomedical Engineering2020年7月。

作为BMC Biomedical Engineeringprovides an international peer-reviewed platform for these important areas, I am convinced that it will facilitate advances in the biomedical engineering community with the ultimate goal of improving human healthcare.

Q: Compared with other journals in the field, especially well-known ones, what makesBMC Biomedical Engineeringdifferent?

A:BMC Biomedical Engineering考虑了有关生物医学工程各个方面的质量文章。具体主题包括生物材料,纳米医学,再生医学,组织工程,医疗技术,机器人技术和康复工程,生物力学,生物传感器和生物电子学以及生物医学成像。作为BMC Biomedical Engineeringprovides an international peer-reviewed platform for these important areas, I am convinced that it will facilitate advances in the biomedical engineering community with the ultimate goal of improving human healthcare.

In addition, BMC is a pioneer of open access publishing. This year makes the 20thanniversary of BMC! As part of the BMC Series journals,BMC Biomedical Engineeringis a fully open access journal. Published articles are free to read and share.

Q: How’s the paper quality of the journal and what’s your opinion on thereview policy?

A:BMC Biomedical Engineering在强大而国际的支持下,有一个专业的内部社论团队editorial board。它提供了严格,高效且公平的同行评审服务。自发布以来BMC Biomedical Engineeringhas been receiving good quality submissions from around the world.BMC Biomedical Engineering‘s editorial policy requires that the reported studies must be scientifically valid; for research articles, this includes a scientifically-sound research question, the use of suitable methods and analysis, and following community-agreed standards relevant to the research field.BMC Biomedical Engineering通过42取得了成功的良好衡量articles published和consistently improves its standards.

Q: Could you please share what suggestions you have for the journal’s future development?

A:We aim to growBMC Biomedical Engineeringinto a renowned biomedical engineering journal with global impact in the next few years. This is a very promising biomedical engineering journal, on which I aspire to publish my own work.

In addition, I would encourage the Editors to provide more support to the authors in the research community, in particular to the junior ones who are at their early stage of research. They might be not very experienced with writing and publishing their research in scientific journal. The editors could support them by giving presentations or seminars on topics.

问:您对年轻的研究人员和作家有什么建议,他们想提交论文以开放访问期刊?

A:开放访问是共享和传播知识的好方法,它为读者提供了自由,即时访问,从而更快地发现了最新的研究。鼓励年轻的研究人员将其工作提交开放访问期刊,如果他们的资金允许。
