Scope
Biomaterials aims to provide a peer-reviewed platform for the publication of research in the field, including synthesis and characterization, fabrication technologies for novel structures and devices, fundamental aspects of biomaterial interactions with biological and biomedical systems, and more.
Scope
A biomaterial is a substance of biological or synthetic origin to be placed in contact with a living system to perform a specific function. The biomaterial could serve as an integral part of devices intended to sense a biological response, to replace an organ or tissue function, to deliver a drug in a controlled manner or to direct a specific physiological function. Biomaterial design and development requires a thoughtful application of chemical and physical sciences, while interfacing them with biological and medical sciences. Engineering philosophy (i.e., purposeful manipulation for a desired goal) becomes an integral part of this endeavor to achieve useful and reproducible outcomes. Biomaterials sit at the crossroads of applied and fundamental sciences, facilitating fast translation of fundamental discoveries into real world applications, whether in a clinical arena or industrial setting. The specialty section of Biomaterials aims to provide a peer-reviewed platform for the publication of research in the field of biomaterials including: (1) Biomaterial synthesis and characterization; (2) Fabrication technologies for novel structures and devices, (3) Tissue engineering for ex vivo fabrication of functional tissues, (4) Regenerative medicine for in vivo replacement of functional tissues and organs; (5) Nano-particulate systems for delivery of therapeutic agents and vaccines; (6) Novel approaches to biomedical imaging; (7) Biosensors and diagnostics; (8) Medical devices; (9) Biocompatibility and toxicology studies as well as (10) Fundamental aspects of biomaterial interactions with biological and biomedical systems.Indexed in: Google Scholar, DOAJ, CrossRef, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), Emerging Sources Citation Index, CLOCKSS
PMCID: all published articles receive a PMCID
Biomaterials welcomes submissions of the following article types: Book Review, Brief Research Report, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Protocols, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge, Systematic Review and Technology Report.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Biomaterials, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Biomaterials will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Bioengineering and Biotechnology and Materials.
