Aims & Scope

Biomedical Informatics and Analytics (BIA) is a peer-reviewed, international, open-access journal dedicated to advancing the integration of data analytics, informatics, and computational methods in biomedical research, healthcare systems, and clinical applications. The journal serves as a platform for researchers, clinicians, data scientists, and healthcare technologists to share original research, innovative methodologies, and impactful case studies that harness data for improving human health. BIA emphasizes translational and applied research that bridges the gap between biomedical data science and practical healthcare solutions. It promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, data ethics, and personalized medicine by enabling the use of advanced analytics in diagnostics, treatment planning, and population health. The journal welcomes high-quality contributions that address the challenges and opportunities of biomedical big data, intelligent healthcare systems, and digital transformation in medicine through rigorous and innovative approaches.

Core Topics Include:

Publication Frequency

BIA publishes issues on a bi-monthly basis, resulting in six regular issues per year. This ensures a steady and timely dissemination of current research in data science and intelligent systems, allowing authors and readers to stay updated on emerging trends and technological breakthroughs.

Ownership

The Biomedical Informatics and Analytics (BIA) journal is owned and published by Mc'Xanza Publications, a global publisher committed to advancing academic knowledge through high-quality, open-access platforms for innovation and applied research.

Archiving

All volumes and issues of BIA are permanently archived and freely accessible through the journal’s official website. This long-term archiving ensures that published content remains available to researchers, educators, and the public, preserving academic contributions for future reference.

Ethics Statement

BIA upholds the highest standards of publication ethics and integrity. All submitted manuscripts undergo rigorous double-blind peer review to ensure quality, originality, and scientific validity. The journal adheres to strict ethical guidelines concerning authorship, conflicts of interest, and data integrity. Authors must disclose any financial or personal relationships that could bias their work, and editors and reviewers must treat all manuscripts with confidentiality and impartiality. BIA follows the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) principles and takes proactive measures to prevent research misconduct, including falsification, fabrication, and unethical experimentation. The editorial board reserves the right to retract any article found to be in violation of these ethical standards. By promoting transparency, accountability, and academic rigor, BIA aims to foster a trustworthy and credible environment for the dissemination of impactful research.

Plagiarism Policy

BIA enforces a zero-tolerance policy on AI-generated plagiarism and maintains a strict upper limit of 10% manual plagiarism as verified through reliable plagiarism detection tools. All submissions are screened at the initial stage to detect duplicate or unethical content. AI-generated manuscripts or those lacking original human intellectual input will be immediately rejected. Authors are encouraged to ensure their work is entirely original and properly cited. Any breach of this policy may lead to manuscript rejection or post-publication retraction. Upholding originality is crucial to maintaining the integrity and academic value of the journal.

Publication Charges

BIA is committed to supporting open-access academic publishing without placing a financial burden on contributors. We are proud to offer zero publication charges for all authors. This means there are no fees for submission, peer review, or publication, allowing researchers from all regions and institutions to freely disseminate their work. Our aim is to encourage high-quality, accessible research in data science and machine intelligence without financial barriers. Authors can submit and publish their work in BIA with the confidence that there are no hidden costs or article processing charges (APCs) at any stage of the process.
