Special Issue on NAMs in Biomechanical Engineering
Journal of Biomechanical Engineering
Submit Paper
This special issue will showcase papers describing NAMs and work explicitly directed toward NAM development with relevance to biomechanical engineering and animal models typically used in biomechanical engineering studies.
Topic Areas
THE SCOPE OF THIS ISSUE INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO:- Papers that describe in vitro, in silico, or in chemico NAMs
- Work explicitly directed to such NAMs development
- Combinatorial NAMs (combinations of in vitro, in silico, or in chemico)
- Global harmonization of issues related to NAMs
- Validation, regulatory, and/or research security issues unique to NAMs
- Methods to ensure diversity and representation in NAMs work and NAMs outcomes
- Emerging best practices in education and workforce development related to NAMs
Submission Instructions
All papers submitted in response to this special issue should include a short paragraph with a sub-heading of “Relevance to the 3 R’s in biomechanical engineering.” The text should briefly but explicitly address how the results will reduce, refine, or replace vertebrate animal models in biomechanical engineering research. This section may be combined with another section, such as “Conclusions and relevance to the 3 R’s.” Papers may be submitted as Research Papers, Technical Briefs, or Expert Views as appropriate.Papers should be submitted electronically to the journal through the ASME Journal Tool. If you already have an account, log in as an author and select Submit Paper. If you do not have an account, you can create one here.
Once at the Paper Submittal page, select the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, and then under the Special Issue field, select Special Issue on NAMs in Biomechanical Engineering.
Papers received after the deadline or papers not selected for the Special Issue may be accepted for publication in a regular issue.
