JBI is the scientific journal that publishes innovative techniques and methodology reviews in the field of biomedical informatics.
The premier methodology journal in the field. The Journal of Biomedical Informatics reflects a commitment to high-quality original research papers and reviews in the area of biomedical informatics. Although published articles are motivated by applications in the biomedical sciences (for example, clinical medicine, health care, population health, imaging, and bioinformatics), the journal emphasizes
reports of new methodologies and techniques that have general applicability and that form the basis for the evolving science of biomedical informatics. Articles on medical devices, and formal evaluations of completed systems, including clinical trials of information technologies, would generally be more suitable for publication in other venues. Papers on applications of signal processing and image analysis are often more suitable for biomedical engineering journals, although we do publish papers that emphasize the information management and knowledge representation/modeling issues that arise in the storage and use of biological signals. System descriptions are welcome if they illustrate and substantiate the underlying methodology that is the principal focus of the report. Editor in Chief: Mor Peleg (Haifa, Israel)

On February 9, Guy Tsafnat, PhD, will be joining the Journal of Biomedical Informatics (JBI) as its newest Associate Editor. Guy is the Founder, Chairman and Chief Science Officer of Evidentli, a digital health company dedicated to the automation of clinical research and evidence production using AI and other technologies. He holds an adjunct research fellow position at the Macquarie University, in Sydney, Australia. Dr. Tsafnat's primary background is in computer science and AI. He got his PhD in biomedical engineering from the UNSW Sydney in 2006, and had a wealth of experience in digital health both in academia and industry. Guy will be handling papers related to natural language processing, artificial intelligence, evidence based medicine, and research automation.

Nice press coverage of a paper published in JBI
Deep learning plays an increasingly crucial role in biomedical research, due to its exceptional data processing capacity. However, single-feature data is far from enough to present the full picture of an issue.

Our Story
The premier methodology journal in the field.
The Journal of Biomedical Informatics reflects a commitment to high-quality original research papers, reviews, and commentaries in the area of biomedical informatics methodology. Although we publish articles motivated by applications in the biomedical sciences (for example, clinical medicine, health care, population health, and translational bioinformatics), the journal emphasizes reports of new methodologies and techniques that have general applicability and that form the basis for the evolving science of biomedical informatics. Articles on medical devices; evaluations of implemented systems (including clinical trials of information technologies); or papers that provide insight into a biological process, a specific disease, or treatment options would generally be more suitable for publication in other venues. Papers on applications of signal processing and image analysis are often more suitable for biomedical engineering journals or other informatics journals, although we do publish papers that emphasize the information management and knowledge representation/modeling issues that arise in the storage and use of biological signals and images. System descriptions are welcome if they illustrate and substantiate the underlying methodology that is the principal focus of the report and an effort is made to address the generalizability and/or range of application of that methodology.
The Journal of Biomedical Informatics has an open access mirror Journal of Biomedical Informatics: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
