On July 1, 2016, the Executive Board of the Journal of Korean Medical Science (JKMS) decided to make a new section of subspecialty “Biomedical Engineering” in addition to 36 present sections. A few articles in the field of biomedical engineering have been published every year in JKMS under several subspecialty categories. The new section was reported to the Board of Trustee of the Korean Academy of Medical Sciences. I asked president of the Korean Society of Medical and Biological Engineering (KSMBE) to recommend section editor. The board of KSMBE discussed this affair and the president recommended Prof. Young Bin Choy, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Seoul National University College of Medicine. Based on the recommendation, JKMS invites Prof. Young Bin Choy as the section editor from October 1, 2016.
The research in biomedical engineering in Korea is rapidly growing and numerous good articles are published every year. It is mutually beneficial for JKMS and the researchers of biomedical engineering to make the new section of Biomedical Engineering in the scope of medical sciences. I expect this section launching encourages the researchers of Korean biomedical engineering to submit their good manuscripts to JKMS, and the articles may invite more readers and citations. Since JKMS is serviced to global audience through well-established international online networks, the new section will boost research of KSMBE members. I would like to invite more submissions to the section, Biomedical Engineering of JKMS.
