The Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering was first published in 1999 by the nonprofit publisher Annual Reviews.[4] The inaugural editor was Martin L. Yarmush;[5] Yarmush remained editor until 2021, at which point he was co-editor along with Mehmet Toner.[6] Though it began with a physical edition, it is now only published electronically.[7]
The Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering is helmed by the editor or the co-editors. The editor is assisted by the editorial committee, which includes associate editors, regular members, and occasionally guest editors. Guest members participate at the invitation of the editor, and serve terms of one year. All other members of the editorial committee are appointed by the Annual Reviews board of directors and serve five-year terms. The editorial committee determines which topics should be included in each volume and solicits reviews from qualified authors.[10] Unsolicited manuscripts are not accepted. Peer review of accepted manuscripts is undertaken by the editorial committee.[11]
