Before submitting your manuscript to JBEU, please read the following information and guidelines carefully.

Submission Process

The journal accepts submissions online through its website. The authors need to register and log in to the online submission system to submit their manuscript. The authors can also track the status of their submissions and communicate with the editors through the online submission system.

The authors are encouraged to follow the journal’s template as much as possible to facilitate the review process. The authors are also encouraged to check their manuscript for spelling, grammar, formatting, figures, tables, equations, references, etc. before submission.

The authors need to provide the following information and files when submitting their manuscript:

• Manuscript title
• Manuscript type (research article, review article, or case study)

• Keywords (3-6 words)
• List of potential reviewers (optional)
• Cover letter (optional)
• Manuscript file (in Word format)
• Supplementary material (optional)
• Data, code, and materials (optional)

Manuscript Preparation

The manuscript should be prepared according to the following guidelines:

• Manuscript length: The manuscript should not exceed 10,000 words for research articles, 8,000 words for review articles, and 5,000 words for case studies. These word limits include the abstract, main text, references, tables, and figure captions. The word count does not include supplementary material.

• Manuscript language: The manuscript should be written in clear and concise English or Bahasa Indonesia. Spelling should be British English. Abbreviations should be used only when necessary and should be defined when they are first used. SI units should be used throughout.

• Manuscript structure: The manuscript should be structured as follows:

  • Abstract: The abstract should summarize the main objectives, methods, results, and conclusions of the manuscript in up to 250 words. The abstract should not contain any references or abbreviations.
  • Keywords: The keywords should consist of 3-6 words that reflect the main topics or themes of the manuscript.
  • Introduction: The introduction should provide the background and context of the research problem, state the research objectives or questions, and summarize the main contributions or findings of the manuscript.
  • Methods: The methods section should describe the design, procedures, materials, equipment, data sources, data analysis methods, and ethical considerations of the research in sufficient detail to allow replication by other researchers.
  • Results: The results section should present and summarize the main findings of the data analysis in a logical and coherent manner. Tables and figures should be used to illustrate or support the results.
  • Discussion: The discussion section should interpret and explain the results in relation to the research objectives or questions, compare and contrast them with existing literature or knowledge, discuss their implications or limitations, and suggest directions for future research or practice.
  • Conclusions: The conclusions section should provide a brief summary of the main findings and contributions of the manuscript, highlight their significance or relevance for biomedical engineering and technology, and state the main conclusions or recommendations derived from them.
  • References: The references section should list all sources cited in the manuscript in numerical order. The journal uses the IEEE style for referencing. Please refer to this guide for examples of how to cite different types of sources.
  • Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals (e.g., Table 1) and have a brief descriptive caption above them.
