2018 Call for Papers with Journal Publication
OVER 1,000 PAPERS PUBLISHED |
The 2018 DMD Conference seeks original two-page papers that demonstrate new technologies and applications in the field of medical device design. Submissions from academic and industry researchers, clinicians and practitioners are encouraged. The paper should present an unbiased description of an experiment, product or business method related to medical devices. Repeated references to branded products or trade names, or excessive use of corporate logos or trademarks in illustrations is discouraged.
Authors of accepted papers will be invited to present during one of the conference Scientific Poster Sessions. Authors of ten accepted papers describing medical device designs that have the potential for commercialization will be invited to present at the Three-in-Five Competition session in addition to their poster presentation. A few authors may be invited to present during an oral session of contributed papers in addition to their poster presentation.
All accepted papers will be published as a two-page technical brief in the September or the December issue of the ASME Journal of Medical Devices. Conference registration and participation in the conference poster session is required for publication of the paper. If you prefer not to have your paper published in the Journal of Medical Devices, please contact Jenny Holden via email by January 31, 2018. Please reference your paper # in the subject line.

Author Instructions
Papers follow the form of an ASME Technical Brief and are a maximum of two pages. The required sections for the paper are Background, Methods, Results, Interpretation.
Download the author resources for writing in ASME style (web link) and the required Technical Brief Template (Word). Look to any ASME journal for guidance on figure format. Incorporate figures and captions into the body so that it looks like a finished journal article, rather than putting figures and captions on separate pages after the text. Text throughout the article cannot contain color words as readers of print will only see black and white figures. Please double check your references to include all paper authors and note that "et. al." is not permitted in the reference list.
To submit the paper, in the web based ASME DMD Conference Toolbox, login or create an account (Author Center >Papers >Submit Paper).
Firefox is not supported by the ASME Webtool. Please use a different browser (Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari ...)
Upload the PDF version of your paper and select a track. You will receive a confirmation by email that includes your paper number. Please use your paper number in all communication with conference organizers. Follow the same procedure to upload your final paper after incorporating the suggestions from the reviewers.
Download the ASME "Copyright Form" Form, complete (with all authors signatures) and submit your form via the ASME Webtool.
