Why Researchers Trust JBI
The Journal of Biomaterials has established itself as a trusted platform for researchers focused on developing and characterizing materials designed for medical applications. Our commitment to rigorous peer review, transparent editorial processes, and rapid publication timelines makes JBI the preferred choice for scientists seeking to maximize their research impact. Whether you are developing novel polymer formulations, investigating metallic alloys for orthopedic applications, or exploring bioactive ceramics for tissue engineering, JBI provides the platform and community to amplify your discoveries.
Publication Excellence Standards
Our editorial mission advances the fundamental science of biomaterial design, synthesis, characterization, and clinical application. JBI focuses exclusively on the material science aspects of biomaterials including composition, structure, properties, fabrication methods, and pre-clinical characterization.
Clinical Translation Pathway
Innovation without translation is purely academic. JBI places heavy emphasis on the bench-to-bedside journey. We understand that a material mechanical properties are only half the story. Sterilization stability, packaging interactions, and surgical handling are equally vital for real-world implementation. Our Clinical Case Studies section analyzes explanted materials, driving iterative improvement of medical devices globally.
Industrial-Grade Standards
In the field of implants, precision is non-negotiable. JBI applies this same standard to publishing. Our reviewers are experts in finite element analysis, histology, and mechanical testing standards (ASTM/ISO). This ensures your technical data is evaluated with the rigor it deserves, providing third-party validation for regulatory submissions and market adoption.
