Guide for Authors
Aims and scope
Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology is the official journal of the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology. The journal publishes original contributions that demonstrate a novel application of an existing ultrasound technology in clinical diagnostic, interventional and therapeutic applications, new and improved clinical techniques, the physics, engineering and technology of ultrasound in medicine and biology, and the interactions between ultrasound and biological systems, including bioeffects. Papers that simply utilize standard diagnostic ultrasound as a measuring tool will be considered out of scope. Extended critical reviews of subjects of contemporary interest in the field are also published, in addition to occasional editorial articles, clinical and technical notes, book reviews, letters to the editor and a calendar of forthcoming meetings. It is the aim of the journal fully to meet the information and publication requirements of the clinicians, scientists, engineers and other professionals who constitute the biomedical ultrasonic community.
Types of Paper
__ Original Contributions: Peer-reviewed, high-quality research investigations dealing with ultrasound and its applications in biomedicine.
__ Review Articles: Reviews of major areas or sub-areas in ultrasound in medicine and biology. These articles may be of any length and are peer-reviewed.
__ Technical Notes: Brief studies introducing or expanding on a new technical ultrasound approach that have been testing in vitro, in silico or in a limited clinical or biological study. These should be approximately 12 double-spaced submitted pages or 4 printed pages or less.
__ Clinical Notes: Brief clinical studies in a limited patient population that demonstrate a novel application of an existing ultrasound technology or studies a disease etiology or normal imaging target variant that does not exist in the literature. These should be approximately 12 double-spaced submitted pages or 4 printed pages or less. However, submissions based solely on the description of a single case, i.e. case reports, will not be considered for publication.
__ Editorials: On an occasional basis.
__ Book Reviews: Reviews and abstracts of the current literature in the appropriate fields will be published. Book Reviews should be submitted electronically through the Elsevier Editorial website (https://www.editorialmanager.com/umb/Default.aspx).
__ Letters to the Editor: Comments on articles published in the Journal and on other matters of interest to biomedical ultrasound researchers. They should be short (normally not more than 400 words), double-spaced, and include references where appropriate. Where a published article is involved, the original author(s) will be invited to submit a response.
__ In Memoriam: An obituary written in memory of a deceased member of the World Federation of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology community. They should highlight the scientific, clinical, industrial, or educational contributions of the deceased member of the ultrasound community and include a photograph.
__ Corrigendum: Authors' corrections of manuscript errors published in Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology.
__ Calendar: Provides notices of forthcoming meetings, courses, and other events relevant to biomedical ultrasound researchers. All such items will normally be listed (at no charge) in each issue. Please submit the date, conference/course title, and contact name to the Editorial office at least 6 months in advance.
__ Official Communications of the WFUMB: For example, approved changes in the Constitution.
