The ultimate goal of engineering in medicine and biology (EMB) researchers is to improve medical care for patients and communities all over the world by providing a collaborative environment for engineer-scientists and clinicians. In order for this collaboration to occur, however, there must be a widely indexed platform that promotes communication among researchers across a spectrum of nations, both economically developed and underdeveloped, and between engineer-scientists and clinicians who are less likely to have access to IEEE Xplore. In response to this need, the EMB Society (EMBS) created the Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine (JTEHM), its first Gold Open Access (OA) journal. At its inception in 2012, JTEHM outlined a bold, comprehensive objective: Our unique mission-to bring together scientific researchers, practicing clinicians, and engineers to develop actionable, practical solutions for patients, families, and caregivers-requires open communication and free access.
医学与生物学工程(EMB)研究人员的最终目标是通过为工程师-科学家和临床医生提供协作环境,来改善全世界患者和社区的医疗护理。然而,要实现这种协作,就必须有一个广泛索引的平台,促进来自不同国家(包括经济发达和欠发达地区)的研究人员之间的交流,以及促进工程师-科学家和临床医生之间的交流,因为后者不太可能有机会访问 IEEE Xplore。为了满足这一需求,EMB 学会(EMBS)创建了《转化医学工程杂志》(JTEHM),这是其第一本金色开放获取(OA)期刊。在 2012 年创刊时,JTEHM 概述了一个大胆而全面的目标:我们独特的使命——将科学研究人员、执业临床医生和工程师聚集在一起,为患者、家庭和护理人员开发切实可行的实用解决方案——需要开放的沟通和免费的获取。
