Draft for Biomedical Technology with confidence. The template sets the correct structure, abstract, and references up front, so your manuscript clears editorial screening.

Submitting to Biomedical Technology goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Biomedical Technology guide for authors before peer review, so formatting, structure, and required statements should be right on the first draft rather than repaired during upload. This template sets that structure up for you.
It is a manuscript shell aligned to Biomedical Technology. It covers front matter, the abstract the journal expects, a body organized to the journal's article types, and a reference list in the journal's required style. Confirm current scope and article types on the Biomedical Technology journal page before you draft.
Prepare the title, authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs. Write the abstract to the journal's rule and word limit, organize the body to the article type, and apply the required reference style from the first citation. Complete every declaration (ethics, competing interests, funding, data availability) the Biomedical Technology guide for authors lists, and cite figures and tables in order.
The common failure modes are formatting or reference style that does not match the guide for authors, missing required statements, and an incomplete portal checklist. Clear all three against the Biomedical Technology guide for authors before you submit.
The shell mirrors what editorial staff check first: article-type fit, the abstract rules, required declarations, and the journal's reference style. For more detail see the author resources. When your draft is ready, upload it through Editorial Manager.
| Element | BT requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | For Research Articles: A structured abstract is required, using appropriate headings to provide the context or background for the research, state its purpose, basic procedures (selection of study subjects or laboratory animals, observational and analytical methods), main findings (giving specific effect sizes and their statistical significance, if possible), and principal conclusions. For general articles: The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. No word limit is specified in the guide. |
| Main text | Section order and length per article type |
| Declarations | Ethics, competing interests, funding, data as required |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | Maximum of 6 keywords. Authors should avoid general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. |
| References | Numbered reference style. Indicate references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text. Number the references in the list in the order in which they appear in the text. Journal names should be abbreviated according to the List of Title Word Abbreviations (ISSN LTWA). |
| Peer review | Single blind review process. All contributions are initially assessed by the editor for suitability for the journal. Papers deemed suitable are then typically sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers. |

Read the Biomedical Technology guide for authors once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after results are stable. Set the reference style before adding citations. Keep a cover letter that states your contribution and fit to Biomedical Technology in under a page.
Skim two or three recent BT papers to calibrate depth and figure style. Make the novelty clear in the first two pages. Deposit data and code when the policy on the Biomedical Technology journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the Biomedical Technology guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through Editorial Manager.
