Full length peer-reviewed research article
Technical briefs undergo full peer review. A technical brief reports results that are of significant and archival value to the engineering community; however, these works are more limited in scope and length than a research paper. A technical brief may contain any of the following: 1. preliminary report of a result not yet fully developed or interpreted; and 2. commentary on a technical issue of potential interest to readers. Recommended Length: 2500 words. Show Design Innovation Paper Design innovation papers undergo full peer review. A design innovation paper represents scholarly innovation in design that has technological implications. The archival value of such papers is in the innovation part of a design and not necessarily in the theory. This type of paper is intended for outstanding work in mechanical design that is concept oriented and does not necessarily require detailed theoretical or experimental development and analysis, but does have archival value in design practice, as well as potential technological implications. Recommended Length: 7000 words. Review Article Review articles undergo full peer review. A Review Article organizes, clarifies, and summarizes existing major works in science and engineering and provides comprehensive citations to a full spectrum of relevant literature. Length: open. Expert View Expert View articles undergo full peer review. An Expert View article is a brief overview of the most recent advances in a given area of Mechanical Engineering. The format for an Expert View is the same as a Research. Length: 4500 words. Discussion Discussions are reviewed by the Editor and may undergo full peer review. A Discussion is a means for authors to offer comments and opinions on previously published papers of that particular journal. Authors whose work is used for a Discussion will have the opportunity to respond with a Closure. Publication of a submitted discussion is at the discretion of the Editor. Recommended Length: 2500 words Closure Closures are reviewed by the Editor and may undergo full peer review. A closure is the response of an author whose paper is the subject of a published discussion. Publication of a submitted closure is at the discretion of the editor. Recommended Length: 250 words Editorial An editorial is an article, usually written by the journal editor, that describes or introduces the content of the journal or a special issue, or that relates to the workings or practices of the journal or ASME. Guest Editorial A guest editorial is an editorial written by a guest editor for a specific journal issue or topic. Guest editorials are published at the invitation of the editor. Book Review A book review is a brief critical and unbiased evaluation of a current book determined to be of interest to the journal audience. Publication of a submitted book review is at the discretion of the editor. Technology Review A technology review is a brief critical and unbiased evaluation of a current technology, application, or product determined to be of interest to the journal audience. Publication of a submitted technology review is at the discretion of the editor. Announcement An announcement is a general or specific message deemed of interest to the journal audience. This might be a calendar of events for a particular ASME Division or group, a call for papers (invitation to present, attend and publish) for a conference affiliated or sponsored by ASME, or other journal-related messages that do not fall into a specific category. Publication of a submitted announcement is at the discretion of the editor. Errata An erratum presents corrections to errors in a published work that have been discovered after the journal article has been published (print/electronic). Errata are issued to correct errors of such severity that may cause a misunderstanding or misrepresentation of the technical content presented. Errata are not published to correct minor typographic errors. The following contains detailed descriptions as to what should be included in each particular type of article as well as points that Reviewers should keep in mind when specifically reviewing each type of article. YJBM will ask Reviewers to Peer Review the following types of submissions: Download PDFFrequently Asked QuestionsOriginal Research Articles These manuscripts should present well-rounded studies reporting innovative advances that further knowledge about a topic of importance to the fields of biology or medicine. The conclusions of the Original Research Article should clearly be supported by the results. These can be submitted as either a full-length article (no more than 6,000 words, 8 figures, and 4 tables) or a brief communication (no more than 2,500 words, 3 figures, and 2 tables). Original Research Articles contain five sections: abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results and discussion. Reviewers should consider the following questions:
Case Reports Case reports describe an unusual disease presentation, a new treatment, an unexpected drug interaction, a new diagnostic method, or a difficult diagnosis. Case reports should include relevant positive and negative findings from history, examination and investigation, and can include clinical photographs. Additionally, the Author must make it clear what the case adds to the field of medicine and include an up-to-date review of all previous cases. These articles should be no more than 5,000 words, with no more than 6 figures and 3 tables. Case Reports contain five sections: abstract; introduction; case presentation that includes clinical presentation, observations, test results, and accompanying figures; discussion; and conclusions. Reviewers should consider the following questions:
Reviews Reviews provide a reasoned survey and examination of a particular subject of research in biology or medicine. These can be submitted as a mini-review (less than 2,500 words, 3 figures, and 1 table) or a long review (no more than 6,000 words, 6 figures, and 3 tables). They should include critical assessment of the works cited, explanations of conflicts in the literature, and analysis of the field. The conclusion must discuss in detail the limitations of current knowledge, future directions to be pursued in research, and the overall importance of the topic in medicine or biology. Reviews contain four sections: abstract, introduction, topics (with headings and subheadings), and conclusions and outlook. Reviewers should consider the following questions:
Perspectives Perspectives provide a personal view on medical or biomedical topics in a clear narrative voice. Articles can relate personal experiences, historical perspective, or profile people or topics important to medicine and biology. Long perspectives should be no more than 6,000 words and contain no more than 2 tables. Brief opinion pieces should be no more than 2,500 words and contain no more than 2 tables. Perspectives contain four sections: abstract, introduction, topics (with headings and subheadings), and conclusions and outlook. Reviewers should consider the following questions:

Analyses contain four sections: abstract, introduction, topics (with headings and subheadings), and conclusions and outlook. Reviewers should consider the following questions:
Profiles Profiles describe a notable person in the fields of science or medicine. These articles should contextualize the individual’s contributions to the field at large as well as provide some personal and historical background on the person being described. More specifically, this should be done by describing what was known at the time of the individual’s discovery/contribution and how that finding contributes to the field as it stands today.
