Rocky Mountain Bioengineering Symposium – Review Process

Abstracts and manuscripts submitted to the Rocky Mountain Bioengineering Symposium (RMBS) are subject to a series of events, which lead to the acceptance of manuscripts for publication or rejection. The abstracts submitted to RMBS are sorted into different categories by an organizational committee. Then the program chair appoints appropriate reviewers for the abstracts from the board of directors as well as experts in those specified disciplines. The senior authors of the accepted abstracts are notified and invited to submit a full-length manuscript (with additional page charges for extra pages beyond six), as well as to present the findings at the annual meeting.

Upon receipt of the full-length manuscript, the program chair assigns at least four reviewers for each paper to evaluate the originality and novelty of the research (Scores: 1=Rejection, 2= Modification by Program Committee, 3 = Acceptable, 4= Very Good Paper, and 5 = Excellent Work).

Accepted manuscripts are considered refereed papers under the umbrella of “accept or reject”, meaning there is no communications with the authors for corrections. Compiled manuscripts are subject to another screening process by ISA and subsequently indexed in the largest database in the world, Medline.

ISA- (The Instrumentation, Systems and Automation Society) fosters advancement in the theory, design, manufacture, and use of sensors, biomedical instruments, computers, and systems for measurement and control in a wide variety of applications. Founded in 1945 as a nonprofit, educational organization, ISA has expanded its technical and geographical reach to become a resource for 39,000 members and thousands of other professionals and practitioners in more than 110 countries around the world.
