1. Publication Policy
   Theoretical and experimental records which lead to fundamental principles, or the research to development, fabrication and application of advanced technique on Biomedical Engineering will constitute the content of each issue. Only unpublished original contributions will be considered for publication. Manuscripts should be prepared in the form of full-length papers. It should be as completely documented regarding both literature and experimental procedures as a full-length paper.

2. Submission Process
   All submissions to BME are handled electronically. Manuscripts must be submitted online via Editorial Manager (EM), a fully web-based submission, peer-review, and tracking system. Upon submission authors should specify to which section the paper belongs. Each submission should have more than 3000 words and be limited to 6 pages. The author will have to pay NT2,000 per page for any extra pages. The author should recommend referees

   New Authors: If you are submitting via this new system for the first time, you will first be required to register. From the account you create, you will be able to monitor your submission and make subsequent submissions.

3. Typing instructions

   3.1. The manuscript, including abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussions, conclusions, acknowledgement, references, figures and tables as following examples: Abstract (200-500 words); 1. Introduction; 2. Materials and Methods, 2.1 Materials..., 2.2 Experiment.., 2.3 ...; 3. Results, 3.1..., 3.2..., 3.3...; 4. Discussions, 4.1.., 4.2...; 5. Conclusions; Acknowledgement; References; Figures and Tables (included captions), should be neatly typed in English, doubled-spaced with a 12-point font, on one side of an A4 sized paper (21.6 ¡Á 28-cm or 8.5 by! 1! 1-in). Pages should be numbered in succession, the title being page 1. The title page should include only: i) the article title; ii) the authors' names and their affiliations; iii) the corresponding author's email address; iv) the running title, not exceeding 45 letters and spaces.

   3.2. Full-length papers and review articles should be provided with an abstract of about 200-500 words, reporting concisely on the objectives and conclusions of the paper. Select about three to five keywords that do not duplicate in the title. Composite words can be selected and will be counted as one keyword. Do not abbreviate keywords.

   3.3. SI (Standard International) units must be used in the text, tables, and figures of all manuscripts submitted to the Journal.

   3.4. Type tables on separate sheets, number with Roman numerals, and mention consecutively in the text. Provide a succinct heading for each table which makes the information intelligible without referencing to the text.

   3.5. Number figures with Arabic numerals and mention them consecutively in the text. All figures must include captions, which should be typed in the final page of the manuscript. Captions should be self-explanatory and should not duplicate information in the text. One set of drawings should be made with ink on tracing cloth or good quality white drawing paper. Photographs should be glossy black-and-white or color prints with sharp contrast.

   3.6. All photos, graphs, illustrations and diagrams are referred to as "figures" and the abbreviation "Fig." (or "Figs.") is used in the text. (Where the word "Figure" begins a sentence, it should be spelt in full.) Equations should be referred in the text as Eq. (x), where x is the equation number.

   3.7. A complete list of references numbered consecutively in order of first appearance and indicated by superscript numerals in the text, should be provided. Reference should be made to the full list of authors rather than the first author followed by et al. Within tables, references should be designated by lower case Roman letter superscripts and given at the end of the table.
