Biomaterials Science 10th Anniversary

Join us in celebrating the 10 year anniversary of Biomaterials Science

 

This year we are proud to celebrate 10 years of Biomaterials Science. Our pilot issue was published in October 2012, and since then we have continued to publish a variety of impactful content from our diverse biomaterials-based community.

 

We are delighted to announce a number of initiatives to celebrate the journal’s 10th anniversary. These include a themed collection featuring work from some top researchers in biomaterials; post-publication collections highlighting the top papers from around the world; and a reviewer spotlight recognising some of our outstanding reviewers. You can find out more about our activities below.

The first Biomaterials Science journal cover from October 2012

About the Journal

Biomaterials Science is an international high impact journal exploring the science of biomaterials and their translation towards clinical use. Its scope encompasses new concepts in biomaterials design, studies into the interaction of biomaterials with the body, and the use of materials to answer fundamental biological questions. Since it was first launched in 2012, Biomaterials Science has published over 3000 articles and reviews from research groups in more than 70 countries.

It is the official journal of the European Society for Biomaterials and we publish annual collections highlighting the best work presented at the annual ESB conference.

In line with the Royal Society of Chemistry’s values of inclusion and diversity, Biomaterials Science welcomes work from all areas of biomaterials. High quality is the key determining factor for publishing in Biomaterials Science and we look forward to your continued contributions to the journal.

 

10th anniversary activities

Biomaterials Science 10th anniversary collection

To introduce the 10th anniversary collection, current Biomaterials Science Editor-in-Chief Jianjun Cheng and Executive Editor Maria Southall have written an Editorial reflecting on the past 10 years of the journal. They look to the future and highlight various journal initiatives which aim to reinforce the journal’s reputation as an inclusive home for high-quality and impactful research on biomaterials.

Check out the collection featuring high quality research and review articles from some of the top authors in biomaterials. This collection is ongoing and articles will continue to be added as they are published, so do keep checking the collection. We hope you enjoy reading the exciting work featured in the collection for FREE until 31 December 2022.
