The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has announced the release of its Engineering for Medicine and Biology Journal Package, a collection of journals developed specifically for medical professionals. The package includes a new journal on Nanomedicine launched in Fall 2009, as well as four other established ASME journal publications.
This package offers information on the most recent developments at the crossroads of engineering, medicine and biology, helping the medical community to stay current on advancements and innovations related to the design of medical devices, systems, instrumentation and other bio-medical applications.
"Making advancements in the areas of medicine and biology requires a collaborative effort between medical professionals and engineers," said ASME President Amos E. Holt, Ph.D. "These journals help to open the channels of communication between the two disciplines in order to face current and future challenges in the global community."
Included in each of the journals are comprehensive peer-reviewed research papers from a wide range of experts, providing insight and perspective on how the engineering and medical communities can benefit from each other's skills and knowledge. By offering these journals in one convenient package, ASME is working as an essential resource to bridge the gap between the medical and engineering professions.
An annual subscription to the Engineering for Medicine and Biology Journal Package includes access to the following five journals: the Journal of Medical Devices, Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology, Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, Journal of Fluids Engineering and Journal of Nanotechnology in Engineering and Medicine.
