ANNUAL SPECIAL ISSUE “Biomechanical Engineering—2018 Year in Review”

The Journal of Biomechanical Engineering (JBME) continues to thrive, and our impact factor held strong at 1.916 in 2018. Over 550 manuscripts were received in 2018, and our acceptance rate projects to be about 28%, though the final number will depend on the outcome of manuscripts currently under review. We continue to streamline all stages of the review and publication process, with time to first decision now averaging 1.7  months and immediate on-line availability of accepted manuscripts. The tremendous effort of the Associate Editors (AEs) on this front, and on all aspects of the journal operation, is acknowledged here with our profound thanks—JBME would not succeed without them! We especially thank retiring AEs Carlijn Bouten, Tammy Haut Donahue, James Iatridis, Ram Devireddy, Barclay Morrison, Jeff Ruberti, and Brian Stemper, and we welcome new AEs Kyle Allen, Anton Bowden, Tamara Bush, Brittany Coats, Eric Kennedy, Spencer Lake, Christian Puttlitz, Sara Wilson, and Katherine Zhang.
