Guidelines

Engineering of Biomaterials is an open access journal that does not charge authors any fees for the publication of articles (no processing, submission or publishing fees).

Papers for publication in journal „Engineering of Biomaterials" should be written in English. Minimum length of manuscript - 8 pages. Download manuscript template (Word)
All articles are reviewed.
The authors should enclose a statement, that the article is original, has not been published previously and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
The Editors lead the policy of "ghostwriting" and "guest authorship" prevention.
- "Ghostwriting" is the case of contributing a publication without revealing one's participation as one of the authors or without reference to their role in the acknowledgments in the publication.
- "Guest authorship" (honorary authorship) is the case of insignificant contribution of the author or its complete absence and nevertheless being the author or co-author of the publication.
The Editors require that authors should reveal individual co-authors' contribution (in percent). When submitting the manuscript, it is necessary to make a statement which of the authors contributed to: A - research concept and design, B - Collection and / or assembly of data, C - Data analysis and interpretation, D - Writing the article, E - Critical revision of the article, F - Final approval of the article. However, the corresponding author will chiefly be held responsible
When submitting a manuscript, authors are asked to suggest at least four potential reviewers (title, first and last name, institution, e-mail). At least 2 reviewers should be from a country other than Poland. Reviewers may not be affiliated with the same institution as the author(s) and should not be in close personal or professional relationships with the author(s). The names of the reviewers may be (but not have to be) used by the Editorial Board.
A manuscript should be organized in the following order:
- TITLE
- Authors and affiliations
- Abstract (200-250 words) - it should reflect the structure of the article (introduction, materials and methods, results and discussion, conclusions)
- Keywords (4-6)
- Introduction
- Materials and Methods
- Results and Discussions
- Conclusions
- Acknowledgements
- References
Authors' full names and affiliations with postal addresses should be given. If authors have different affiliations use superscripts ¹,². ORCID iDs are required for all authors.
The papers (including figures, tables, references) should be submitted as MS WORD file (Arial 9 point size font with 1.5 line spacing). SI units should be used.
All illustrations, figures, graphs etc. preferably in black and white or grey scale should be additionaly presented in separate electronic files (format .jpg, .gif., .tiff, .bmp). High-resolution figures are required for publication, at least 300 dpi. All figures must be numbered in the order in which they appear in the paper and captioned below. They should be referenced in the text (e.g. FIG. 1, FIG. 2a, TABLE 1).
Any image that is adapted or copied directly from another source needs to come with copyright permission. The original source must be acknowledged in the figure caption, as requested by the publisher.

References should contain the authors' names and initials, full title of the paper, name of the journal (full or using Journal Abbreviations Index), volume number, year of publication, first and last page numbers.
