The Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology is an international, independent and interdisciplinary journal which aims to provide a broad perspective on engineering and technology in the medical setting, including an understanding of the physiological processes underlying disease and disability.
The Journal covers the following areas:
Clinical diagnostic technologies (hardware and software, including application of AI to medical images and physiological data)
Musculoskeletal and rehabilitation engineering (including biomechanics, prosthetics, orthotics and assistive technologies)
Cardiovascular engineering (including interventional and implantable devices, modelling and simulation)
Medical device development and innovation (including modelling and simulation, apps, telemedicine, and 3D printing of devices)
Medical equipment management (including regulatory compliance, waste, sustainability, maintenance, calibration and cyber security)
Features include authoritative review papers, reports of original research, and evaluation reports on new and existing techniques and devices. Innovation papers provide a wide range of topics covering medical engineering in healthcare from concept to clinic, and the journal publishes tutorials to promote a broad base of information and knowledge. Each issue of the journal contains a comprehensive information service which provides news relevant to the world of medical engineering and technology, details of new products, and selected contents of related journals.
The Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology also publishes thematic special issues that focus on topics of importance.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
nearest thousand.
Citation Metrics
Impact Factor*:
the average number of citations received by articles published in the
journal within a two-year window. Only journals in the Clarivate Science
Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI),
Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and the Emerging Sources
Citation Index (ESCI) have an Impact Factor.
Impact Factor Best Quartile*:
the journal’s highest subject category ranking in the Journal Citation
Reports. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest Impact Factors.
5 Year Impact Factor*:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal
within a five-year window.
CiteScore (Scopus)†:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal over
a four-year period.
CiteScore Best Quartile†:
the journal’s highest CiteScore ranking in a Scopus subject category. Q1
= 25% of journals with the highest CiteScores.
SNIP
(Source Normalized Impact per Paper):
the number of citations per paper in the journal, divided by citation
potential in the field.
SJR
(Scimago Journal Rank):
Average number of (weighted) citations in one year, divided by the
number of articles published in the journal in the previous three years.
Speed/acceptance
From submission to first decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision. Based on manuscripts receiving a
first decision in the last six months.
From submission to first post-review decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision if it is sent out for peer review.
Based on manuscripts receiving a post-review first decision in the last
six months.
From acceptance to online publication:
the average (median) number of days from acceptance of a manuscript to
online publication of the Version of Record. Based on articles published
in the last six months.
Acceptance rate:
articles accepted for publication by the journal in the previous
calendar year as percentage of all papers receiving a final decision.
