# Biomaterials (biomaterials)

## Journal positioning

Biomaterials is an Elsevier journal for materials designed for biological and medical
application: tissue engineering and regenerative scaffolds, drug and gene delivery,
implants and coatings, and biointerfaces. Its defining demand is **dual rigor** — a
submission must combine thorough materials design and characterization *with* genuine
biological evaluation (in vitro and/or in vivo), and the two must be tied together by a
mechanism: how the material's properties produce the biological outcome. A strong
materials paper carrying only a token cell-viability assay, or a biology study using an
off-the-shelf material with no materials advance, is a poor fit. This skill is a **fit
/ venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current
official author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Biomaterials Guide for
