When Biomedical Engineering and Computational Biology was launched less than a year ago I expected a journal with high impactbut even I did not anticipate the quality and quantity of manuscript submission BECB has had during its first year. The journal has also enjoyed an extremely high level of traffic; its articles have been visited about 3,320 times.

Yet the most impressive achievement of the journal, in my opinion, is the breadth and depth of the topics covered in the accepted papers. The articles published in Biomedical Engineering and Computational Biology span a wide range of research from topics in bioinformatics, such as gene regulatory networks and proteomics, to topics in biomedical engineering such as neuromuscular control. The depth and impact of the discoveries covered in the published papers attests to the quality of the published papers.

As a quick over-all evaluation of the journal, as a highly selective journal by Libertas Academia, it appears to me that we have witnessed the birth of one of the main avenues for dissemination of high-impact research in the field.
