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.
<Announcement> JBSE has been included in the ESCI (Emerging Sources Citation Index, part of the Web of Science Core Collection). It is highly likely that an Impact Factor will be assigned in the Journal Citation Reports 2025, to be published in 2026.

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. ★The correct website of JBSE is: https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/jbse/
