Artificial Organs (May 2020)

Our official journal is able to publish a diverse range of articles including "white papers", guidelines, position papers, reviews, surveys and registries, and others alongside the technical papers we are used to seeing in Artificial Organs.

The journal will increase capacity in 2021 for electronic-only publication to complement the print journal.
