2. What are the aims and scope of BIO Integration (BIOI)?
BIO Integration is an international journal focusing on translational biomedicine enabled by integrated biomedical technologies and systems-level approaches. Biomedical integration is defined as the convergence of biological, engineering, computational, and clinical approaches to understand disease mechanisms, develop therapeutic and diagnostic strategies, and accelerate their application in medicine. It also embraces a “bench-to-bedside-and-back” approach, in which biomedical and clinical challenges inspire scientific discovery, while research findings inform the development, validation, and implementation of new diagnostic, therapeutic, and biomedical technologies.
The aim of the journal is to provide a peer–reviewed forum for original research, authoritative reviews, and opinion papers addressing important issues in translational biomedicine. The scope of the journal encompasses the scientific principles and biomedical disciplines that underpin integrated biomedical innovation, including biomaterials and nanomedicine; biomedical imaging, artificial intelligence, and intelligent health technologies; regenerative medicine and rehabilitation engineering; and systems medicine and precision medicine.
BIO Integration is particularly interested in studies that integrate technological innovation, mechanistic insight, biomedical application, and translational potential. The journal welcomes work that advances disease diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, tissue repair, precision medicine, and translational healthcare, with the goal of improving patient outcomes and biomedical practice. Manuscripts that are primarily descriptive, lack clear translational relevance, or do not demonstrate a meaningful connection between scientific innovation and biomedical application are generally outside the scope of the journal. Similarly, computational or engineering studies without clear biomedical relevance or translational potential may also fall outside the journal’s scope.
BIO Integration welcomes the submission of original articles, review articles, mini reviews (research highlights), letters to the editor, editorials, editorial commentaries, perspectives/ opinions, case reports, technical notes, brief reports, news and views, commentary and research letters.
3. What is open access?
BIOI is an open access journal. This means that permanent and free access to published scientific works for readers and no publication fees for the authors – it is 100% free.
4. How should I submit articles to BIOI?
Submissions to BIOI are made using ScholarOne, the online submission and peer review system. Registration and access are available here.
5. Is there a printed version of BIOI?
BIOI currently publishes online only.
6. Where can I access the online version of BIOI?
BIOI is published online at ScienceOpen. If you would like a hard copy of an article, you can download the PDF version of the article and print it.
BIO Integration is indexed in EBSCO, EMBASE, Scopus, CAS, DOAJ, Research4Life, Ulrich’s web, OCLC, WorldCat, Primo Central (Ex Libris), Sherpa Romeo, CNKI Scholar (Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure) and Summon Databases.
