Computer Methods in Biomechanics & Biomedical Engineering

Computer Methods in Biomechanics & Biomedical Engineering publishes computational work on living systems, from bone remodelling and ligament mechanics to blood flow and surgical planning.《生物力学与生物医学工程中的计算方法》刊载针对生命系统的计算研究，范围从骨改建与韧带力学一路延伸到血流与手术规划。

Founded in 1997, the journal sits where engineering computation meets clinical practice, and its pages favour models checked against measurement over simulation for its own sake.该刊创办于 1997 年，位置落在工程计算与临床实践的交界，版面偏重经过实测校验的模型，为模拟而模拟的稿件不易立足。

Scope

• The stated aim is to communicate advances in biomechanics and biomedical engineering and to stir interest in the computer-based technologies that keep arriving in these multidisciplinary subjects.刊物申明的宗旨是报道生物力学与生物医学工程两方面的进展，并唤起读者对这些多学科中不断涌现的计算机技术的兴趣。
• A second purpose is to stress how much depends on joining engineering disciplines to medical technology and clinical expertise, an integration the editors expect to shape health care.另一层用意在于强调工程学科与医学技术、临床经验的结合，编辑部预期这种结合会影响未来的医疗照护。
• Tissue, organ and biomaterial mechanics form the core, with constitutive models of bone, cartilage and artery wall among the most frequent subjects.组织、器官与生物材料的力学构成核心，骨、软骨与动脉壁的本构模型是其中最常出现的题目。
• Material identification and inverse problems hold their own share of the pages, since parameters that cannot be measured directly must be inferred from test data.材料参数识别与反问题占有独立篇幅，无法直接测量的参数只能从试验数据反推。
• Human movement, sport analysis and impact belong to the remit as well, and papers on gait, landing and head injury appear in most volumes.人体运动、运动分析与冲击同属范围，步态、落地与头部损伤的论文几乎每卷都有。
• Cell mechanics, mechanotransduction and computational mechanobiology carry the journal down to single cells and to the signalling that follows mechanical load.细胞力学、力转导与计算力学生物学把刊物带到单细胞尺度，也带到载荷之后的信号传导。
• Computer-aided surgery and simulation are treated as a subject in their own right, covering planning tools, navigation and rehearsal of procedures on patient-specific models.计算机辅助手术与仿真被当作独立方向，涵盖术前规划工具、导航，以及在个体化模型上排练术式。
• Biological fluids and haemodynamics draw a steady stream of submissions on arterial flow, aneurysms, respiratory transport and the rheology of blood.生物流体与血流动力学吸引稳定来稿，动脉流动、动脉瘤、呼吸输运与血液流变都在其中。
• Modelling, design and evaluation of medical devices and implants form another strand, from stents and fracture plates to joint replacements and dental fixtures.医疗器械与植入物的建模、设计与评估构成另一条线，从支架、接骨板到人工关节与牙科种植体。
• Imaging applied to biomechanics is welcomed, especially where segmentation and image-based meshing feed straight into a mechanical analysis.成像在生物力学中的应用同样受欢迎，尤其是分割与基于影像的网格划分直接服务于力学分析的工作。
• Joint and ligament mechanics have been a long-running interest, with knee, hip and spine models appearing in volume one and in current issues alike.关节与韧带力学是长期兴趣所在，膝、髋与脊柱模型在第 1 卷与当下各期都能见到。
• Multiscale and multiphysics modelling tie these strands together, linking cell-level behaviour to tissue response and tissue response to whole-body loading.多尺度与多物理场建模把这些线索串起来，把细胞层面的行为接到组织响应，再接到整体载荷。
• Original research papers carry most of the content, while review articles and short communications pass through the same review stream.原创研究论文承担大部分篇幅，综述与简短交流走同一套评审流程。
• Supplement issues are given over to congress abstracts, a channel that keeps the journal close to the experimental groups presenting at biomechanics meetings.增刊整期交给会议摘要，这条渠道让刊物与在生物力学会议上报告的实验团队保持接近。

History

• The first volume appeared in 1997 under Gordon and Breach Science Publishers, whose imprint for the title was placed in Amsterdam.第 1 卷于 1997 年问世，出版方为 Gordon and Breach Science Publishers，该刊的出版印记设在阿姆斯特丹。

• Bone architecture was present from the first issue, where Tor Hildebrand and Peter Rüegsegger set out the structure model index.骨结构从第 1 期就在版面上，Tor Hildebrand 与 Peter Rüegsegger 在那里提出了结构模型指数。
• Volume one ran to four issues across 1997 and 1998, and the title entered MEDLINE and PubMed with volume four, issue one, in 2000.第 1 卷跨 1997 与 1998 两年共出四期，刊物自 2000 年第 4 卷第 1 期起进入 MEDLINE 与 PubMed。
• The imprint later moved to London under Informa Healthcare, the publisher named in the National Library of Medicine's current record for the title.出版印记后来迁到伦敦，挂在 Informa Healthcare 名下，美国国家医学图书馆的现行著录即以这家出版方为准。
• The title now sits with Taylor & Francis, whose Informa UK entity appears as publisher in Crossref, with DOIs under the 10.1080 prefix.刊物此后归入 Taylor & Francis，Crossref 记录的出版方是其 Informa UK 实体，DOI 使用 10.1080 前缀。
• Publication ran at six issues a year from 2001, and volumes later widened, volume nineteen of 2016 carrying sixteen numbered issues plus a supplement.2001 年起每年出六期，此后卷内期数扩增，2016 年第 19 卷排到第 16 期，另加一期增刊。
• That supplement became an annual fixture, and the 2022 one printed the abstracts of the 47th congress of the Society of Biomechanics.增刊此后成为每年的固定安排，2022 年那一期印的是生物力学学会第 47 届大会的摘要。^[2]
• Crossref now holds 4,932 records for the title, a file that reaches back to the first issue of 1997 without a gap in the numbering.Crossref 现存该刊 4932 条记录，档案一直回溯到 1997 年的第 1 期，卷期编号没有断档。
• In the 2025 release the Journal Impact Factor stands at 1.9, level with the five-year figure, and the Journal Citation Indicator is 0.39.2025 年榜单上影响因子为 1.9，与五年影响因子持平，期刊引证指标为 0.39。
• Both categories place the journal in the third quartile, at 137 of 185 in computer science, interdisciplinary applications and 97 of 130 in engineering, biomedical.两个类目都把刊物放在第三区，计算机跨学科应用为 185 种中的第 137 位，生物医学工程为 130 种中的第 97 位。

• The impact factor moved from 1.763 in 2021 to 1.669 in 2022, then 1.7 in 2023 and 1.6 in 2024, before returning to 1.9 in 2025, while gold open access takes 4.62 per cent of output.影响因子从 2021 年的 1.763 落到 2022 年的 1.669，2023 年为 1.7，2024 年为 1.6，2025 年回到 1.9，金色开放获取占产出的 4.62%。

Editors

• The masthead is printed as a citable front-matter item, not left to a web page alone, and such pages appear at intervals, as in volume 19, issue 16 of 2016.编委名单作为可引用的前置页印在刊内，并不只留在网页上，这类页面间隔出现，2016 年第 19 卷第 16 期即为一例。
• Earlier the list closed volume 13 at issue 6 in 2010, so the board page has kept pace with the growing number of issues.更早的一次收在第 13 卷第 6 期，时为 2010 年，编委页的排布随期数增加而调整。
• Manuscripts are submitted through ScholarOne Manuscripts, on a portal the publisher runs for this title alone.稿件经 ScholarOne Manuscripts 提交，入口由出版方为该刊单独开设。
• Crossref deposits for every paper carry a peer review statement that sends readers to the Aims & Scope page rather than spelling out the referee model article by article.每篇论文在 Crossref 的登记都附有一条同行评议说明，把审稿模式指向刊物的宗旨与范围页，不在单篇层面另行交代。
• A paper takes a DOI and a publication date before an issue number reaches it, and many articles of a given year stay online-first for months before joining an issue.论文先取得 DOI 与出版日期，期号随后才落到记录上，某一年份的许多文章在上线数月之后才归入具体一期。
• Supplement issues are guest-edited, and the one-page editorial in front of each abstract collection names the colleague who assembled it.增刊由客座编辑主持，每册摘要集前面的一页社论写明组稿人。
• Laurence Chèze signed the 2007 supplement, Philippe Gorce the 2009 one, and Philippe Rouch the 2015 collection.Laurence Chèze 署名 2007 年增刊，Philippe Gorce 署名 2009 年那一册，Philippe Rouch 署名 2015 年的摘要集。
• Some years were handled by a small group, as in 2010 when Jean-Pierre Mariot, Abderrahmane Rahmani and Laurence Chèze shared the editorial.有些年份由一个小团队负责，2010 年就是 Jean-Pierre Mariot、Abderrahmane Rahmani 与 Laurence Chèze 三人共同署名。
• The abstract collection is registered as a single Crossref item, so a supplement reads as one document rather than a set of separate papers.摘要集在 Crossref 里登记为单条记录，整册增刊因此读起来像一份文献，而不是一组独立论文。
