Call for Papers with Journal Publication
Opens in Aug. 2018, Reviews completed by Jan. 2019
OVER 1,100 PAPERS PUBLISHED
The DMD 2019 Conference seeks original 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. Papers 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 contributed papers are likely to be asked to serve as reviewers.
A number of papers will be selected to be presented in one of the Advances in Medical Devices sessions and ten papers, describing medical device designs with a potential for commercialization, will be invited for participation in the Three-in-Five Competition.
All accepted papers will be published in the 2019 Proceedings of the Design of Medical Devices Conference in the ASME Digital Collection. DMD Conference registration and presentation of the paper in the conference poster session is required for publication of the paper.
High-quality accepted papers will be flagged in the review process and those authors will be invited to submit a longer version of their work for publication in the ASME Journal of Medical Devices. These papers will undergo an expedited review process, handled by the JMED editors.

2019 Author Instructions
Papers follow the form of an ASME Technical Brief and should be between two and four pages in length.
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. Please double check your references to include all paper authors and note that "et. al." is not permitted in the reference list.
Use the online ASME DMD Conference Toolbox to submit a paper. Login to the Toolbox using or existing ASME credentials or create a new account. (Contact ASME with any account issues)
Upload the PDF version of your paper and select a track. You will receive a submission confirmation by email that includes your paper number. Please use your paper number in all communication with ASME and DMD Organizers.
Follow the same procedure to upload your final paper after incorporating the suggestions from the reviewers.
Finally, for accepted papers, complete the online Copyright Form. Direct any Copyright questions to ASME at copyright@asme.org and cortes-comerern@asme.org.
