ECM Scope
ECM provides an international and interdisciplinary forum for publication
and discussion for researchers in the following fields:
Assessment of materials for biomedical use & interaction with
tissues/ cells /bacteria.
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
Properties of bone, cartilage, intervertebral disc & other related
connective tissues.
Stem and Progenitor Cells.
ECM carries original research papers, reviews and tutorials on
the advances made within the journal scope. All articles are peer-reviewed
and reviewer comments, together with responses by authors, are published
as an integral part of the paper.
Ten good reasons for publishing a paper in ECM
1. World-wide
‘True Open & Free access to all’. 5666
registered readers (100 countries).
2. Indexed in CAS,
Index
Medicus, Medline
and Scopus
databases and can be searched directly from Pubmed,
DOAJ
and Open J Gate.
3. Indexed by ISI
within: Science
Citation Index Expanded, Materials
Science Citation Index, Journal Citation Reports /Science Edition,
Biosis
Previews and Biological
abstracts.
4. No submission or publication charges
of any kind.
5. Authors retain copyright to their articles.
6. Open high standard peer reviewing minimises both favouritism
and prejudice.
7. Discussion with reviewers feature allows sensible arguments included
in the paper.
8. Speed of publication (Usually 3 weeks after acceptance).
9. No payment for reprints: simply mail colleagues the web page
address of the paper.
10. Founded by scientists for the benefit of Science rather than
profit.
All papers are available in Portable Document File (PDF) format
and require Adobe
Acrobat Reader installed to be able to read them. No paper version
is published.
ECM is the Official Journal of Swiss Society for Biomaterials
(SSB) and Tissue and Cell Engineering Society (TCES)
The SSB is the assembly of people in Switzerland working or interested
in the field of biomaterials, be it on the industrial or the university
level. Our Charter
and Bylaws
describe the goals of our Society. We welcome everybody interested
in the wide field of biomaterials to join our Society and to participate
in our annual meetings in Switzerland. The SSB is officially affiliated
with the European Society for Biomaterials.
The Tissue and Cell Engineering Society (TCES),
based in the United Kingdom has the aim of furthering knowledge,
research and dissemination of information on Cell and Tissue Engineering.
It covers the whole field of cell and tissue engineering from materials
and biocompatibility issues via the use of engineered devices used
to address cell biological questions to attempts in whole organ
fabrication. We welcome everybody interested within the field to
join our Society and participate in our meetings in Britain.
