Journal of Medical Devices Editorial

As the Editors-in-Chief of the Journal of Medical Devices, we are excited to share that in 2025, we were able to rapidly process all manuscripts submitted to the journal, with only 1 day on average from submission to first decision of either rejecting without peer review or sending out for peer review. For the latter, it took approximately 3.5 months from submission to final decision on average. We are grateful for the hard work of our team of dedicated editors, editorial staff, and reviewers, to make such rapid yet high-quality publication possible.We are also thrilled to report that our manuscript submissions increased in 2025 by more than 31%, compared to those received in 2024. To accommodate this increase, the journal will move from quarterly to bimonthly issue publication starting in 2026.To enhance the impact of the journal, we continue to maintain a broad scope of the journal to publish work on diverse topics (see the list below):In 2026, we are committed to further improving the statistics of the journal as a unique international forum for rapid publication of significant research on the development and characterization of devices, including instruments aimed for biomedical applications. Besides regular submissions, we welcome proposals for organizing special issues in the journal on any of the topics listed above or a relevant topic of your interest. Organizing special issues as guest editors is strongly recommended for individuals who are interested in becoming an associate editor of the journal. Indeed, we are recruiting additional dedicated associate editors to address the aforementioned increase in manuscript submissions. Please do contact us if you are interested in these opportunities.
