Established by the Oxygen Alliance, The Journal of Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies for Low- and Middle-Income Countries (BEST-LMIC) is dedicated exclusively to work that addresses the specific challenges and needs prevalent in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).  The Journal is peer-reviewed, open access, and requires no monetary payment for publication. Manuscripts must demonstrate clear relevance to LMIC contexts—either through the target setting of the work, the problem being addressed, the users or stakeholders involved, or the intended application. Submissions that do not engage substantively with the realities, constraints, or opportunities in LMICs are considered out of scope, even if they describe high-quality engineering or biomedical research. Authors are encouraged to explicitly describe how their work is situated within and contributes to addressing LMIC-specific challenges.

Please email editor@best-lmic.org to discuss the suitability of your manuscript for publication in this journal.
