Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering
The Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering (JBSE) is an Open Access, peer-reviewed journal approved by Asian-Pacific Association for Biomechanics (APAB), the Bioengineering Division of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME-BED), the Korean Society of Biomechanics (KSB), and the Taiwanese Society of Biomechanics (TSB). JBSE publishes peer-reviewed articles on biomechanical science and engineering. The journal publishes Regular Articles and Reviews.

JBSE’s scope includes molecular biomechanics, cellular biomechanics, tissue engineering, organ engineering, cardiorespiratory biomechanics, musculoskeletal biomechanics, neural mechanics, orthopedic biomechanics, locomotion, human movement, artificial organs, medical device, sports biomechanics, injury, rehabilitation, flying, swimming, biomechanics in nature, and other interdisciplinary sciences.

As the official peer-reviewed journal of APAB, JSME-BED, KSB, and TSB, JBSE serves an ever-growing role in the support of the biomechanics community, especially in Asian-Pacific region. The journal employs rigorous peer review of manuscripts to ensure the highest scientific publishing and ethical standards for our broad audience of researchers, clinicians, policy makers and other bioengineering professionals.

Announcements from publisher
  • Vol. 21 No. 3 (July, 2026)
    Submission starting date: November 4, 2025
    Submission Deadline: January 31, 2026
    Note: Please select "Special Issue on Recent Advances and Future Directions in Biomechanics  (JBSE: AP Biomech 2025)"on Editorial Manager.

    The 13th Asian-Pacific Conference on Biomechanics (AP Biomech 2025) will be held from November 18th to 21st, 2025, in Auckland, New Zealand, hosted by University of Auckland. To commemorate this exciting conference as well as to enhance researches in the field of biomechanics, a special issue of the JBSE, namely, "Special Issue on Recent Advances and Future Directions in Biomechanics" will be issued. The special issue invites papers from a wide range of topics in biomechanical engineering and related scientific fields. All submitted papers will be subjected to the same peer-review process as those accepted for publication in the regular issues.
  • <Caution about a fake website>
    As of August 29, 2023, we have found fake websites masquerading as Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering (JBSE). They pretend to be the editor of JBSE, notify the acceptance of the submitted paper, create a fake paper PDF file, and publish it. Please be aware that it has nothing to do with JBSE.
