Smart Materials in Medicine

ISSN: 2590-1834

Smart materials, conventionally referred to as intelligent or responsive materials, are substances capable of changing one or more of their properties when exposed to external or internal stimuli or different environments. These stimuli may include variations in stress, temperature, moisture, pH levels, electric or magnetic fields, light, or specific chemicals, among others. Following this fast-growing and interdisciplinary field, the concepts of 'smart' and 'material' have been largely extended to a much broader scope. Consequently, we also define "SMART" as "Smart Medicines And Regenerative Therapeutics." Smart Materials in Medicine is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on all aspects of our broadly defined Smart materials and their derivatives, degradation products, or metabolites, with applications in biotechnology, medicine, and healthcare. It is an interdisciplinary journal, the home of choice for best-in-class Smart materials for biomedical applications, particularly in the following categories: Intelligent or responsive materials for biomedical uses. Smart Medicines And Regenerative Therapeutics (SMART). We welcome research papers, reviews, and perspectives that showcase original scientific and engineering discoveries related to the design, fabrication, processing, evaluation, and application of Smart materials, as well as their derivatives, degradation products, or metabolites. We also encourage contributions that advance our understanding by detailing the principles, philosophies, and strategies used in Smart material sciences and engineering. Examples of Smart materials covered by this journal include, but are not limited to: Materials, substances, or molecules responsive to external or internal stimuli. Materials, substances, or molecules with controlled degradation. Bioactive or bioresorbable materials, substances, or molecules. Bioactive and regenerative therapeutic materials, substances, or molecules. Self-healing materials, substances, or molecules. Shape-memory materials, substances, or molecules. Catalytic materials, substances, or molecules. Smart material derivatives, degradation products, or metabolites. Molecular, supramolecular, nano/micro-materials. Electrically conductive and mechano-sensitive materials. Physiomimetic, biomimetic materials, and artificial cells. Tools, devices, or technologies involving Smart materials.

SoftwareX

ISSN: 2352-7110
5 Year impact factor: 3.3
Impact factor: 3.4

SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today's research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain. Domain independent underpinning software tools and technologies have for too long been underrepresented in academic literature. We wish to ensure that these software items get academic recognition and welcome submissions of software tools and services that may otherwise not have a publication home. Examples include mathematical or image processing libraries or methodologies, visualization tools, data management, etcetera. Through the quality of the description and of the (potential) impact of the software deposited we aim that significant reuse will occur both within and without the original developing domain and therefore encourage consideration of this reuse factor when submitting and in the language used within the description. Submissions to SoftwareX consist of two major parts: A short descriptive paper of 3000-word limit; An open-source software distribution with support material. Submissions are accepted only if the code/software has been made freely available. To submit please follow the Original Software Publication guidelines. For any questions contact us at: [email protected] All software publications published in SoftwareX are hosted on a repository on GitHub. A copy of the 'accepted for publication' version of software/code will be copied to the journal's GitHub repository for archiving purposes. Go to the SoftwareX GitHub repository
