Journal of Biomedical Informatics

期刊简介：The Journal of Biomedical Informatics reflects a commitment to high-quality original research papers, reviews, and commentaries in the area of biomedical informatics methodology. Although we publish articles motivated by applications in the biomedical sciences (for example, clinical medicine, health care, population health, and translational bioinformatics), the journal emphasizes reports of new methodologies and techniques that have general applicability and that form the basis for the evolving science of biomedical informatics. Articles on medical devices; evaluations of implemented systems (including clinical trials of information technologies); or papers that provide insight into a biological process, a specific disease, or treatment options would generally be more suitable for publication in other venues. Papers on applications of signal processing and image analysis are often more suitable for biomedical engineering journals or other informatics journals, although we do publish papers that emphasize the information management and knowledge representation/modeling issues that arise in the storage and use of biological signals and images. System descriptions are welcome if they illustrate and substantiate the underlying methodology that is the principal focus of the report and an effort is made to address the generalizability and/or range of application of that methodology. Note also that, given the international nature of JBI, papers that deal with specific languages other than English, or with country-specific health systems or approaches, are acceptable for JBI only if they offer generalizable lessons that are relevant to the broad JBI readership, regardless of their country, language, culture, or health system.

【译文】《生物医学信息学杂志》致力于发表高质量的原创研究论文、评论和评论，涵盖生物医学信息学方法论领域。虽然我们发表受生物医学科学（例如，临床医学、医疗保健、人群健康和转化生物信息学）应用启发的文章，但该期刊强调报告具有普遍适用性的新方法和技术的文章，这些方法和技术构成了生物医学信息学不断发展的科学基础。关于医疗设备的文章；实施系统的评估（包括信息技术临床试验）；或提供对生物过程、特定疾病或治疗方案见解的文章通常更适合在其他场合发表。关于信号处理和图像分析应用的文章通常更适合生物医学工程杂志或其他信息学杂志，尽管我们也发表强调在生物信号和图像的存储和使用中出现的知识管理、知识表示/建模问题的文章。如果系统描述展示了并证实了报告的主要焦点所在的方法论，并努力解决该方法论的普遍性和/或适用范围，则欢迎系统描述。请注意，鉴于JBI的国际性质，处理除英语以外的特定语言，或特定国家卫生系统或方法的论文，如果它们提供普遍适用的、与广泛的JBI读者群相关的教训，则JBI可以接受。
