Editor’s  Corner
As the year comes to its end and this Journal publishes 

its volume number six, the opportunity presents itself for 
the Global Clinical Engineering Journal’s Editor-in-Chief 
to look back. Measure if, and how far, we progressed and 
reflect on the contributions that this Journal has made. 
We know that healthcare services are a local issue, and 
that technology on which these services are dependent 
is a global one. This was especially evident in the case of 
healthcare, as we dearly learned from the Pandemic era. 
Therefore, an international journal that focuses on the 
cross between patient care outcomes and the lifecycle 
of the technological tools, particularly those used at the 
point-of-care and the associated management of the 
technology is critically important. 

Healthcare technology is the result of an idea, an 
innovation or application of an improvement, that has 
been sufficiently funded to move on to the prototyping, 
manufacturing, clinical trials, regulatory compliance, 
and on to the commercialization and management of its 
deployment at the conventional point-of-care or at home. 
In short, the full spectrum of healthcare technology solu-
tions regardless of the location of deployment and use.   

Our Journal is still the only international periodical 
dedicated to sharing and expanding clinical engineering 
applied knowledge, that is accessible on-line, Diamond 
open access (CC BY 4.0) and free to both authors and 
readers. It is conducting a double-blind review of sub-
missions received, check for plagiarism, managed by an 
international Editorial Board of experts having clinical 
engineering, academia, research, regulatory, industry, 
medicine, surgical disciplines, and World Health Or-
ganization expertise. Our Journal is also unique as it is 
published in both English and Chinese languages and is 
advertisement-free. The double-blind review is fed by a 
growing reviewers’ community (270) with wide range 
of experiences representing almost 60 countries and are 
committed to voluntarily serving the field and advancing 
the Journal’s mission.  Thus, ensuring that the Journal’s 

platform promotes up-to-date quality engineering infor-
mation on the relationship between technological tools, its 
development and management, and patient experiences.  

I encourage you to find more information about the 
Journal by visiting the website www.GlobalCE.org and 
at the Global Clinical Engineering Alliance website un-
der the 2023 State of the Alliance State of the Alliance 
report.  When you visit the website, you will find rich 
and interesting content that includes: Editor’s Corner, 
Engineering Report, Book Review, and manuscripts rang-
ing in subjects from Molecular Sieve Oxygen Generation 
and Procurement of Medical Devices in International 
Context to Clinical Engineering Status in Post COVID-19 
and Analysis of Dental Unit Failure as well as COVID019 
Experience of Nigerian Radiotherapy Engineer. In addition 
to the six volumes and issues that archives engineer-
ing and scientific manuscripts from over 150 authors, 
the Journal is also unique in its ability to organize and 
publish the Proceedings of the last three International 
Clinical Engineering & Health Technology Management 
(ICEHTMC) Congresses, a major accomplishment where 
the 5th ICEHTMC Congress proceeding just published 
this month https://doi.org/10.31354/globalce.v5iSI5.

This year, the Journal achieved another milestone, that 
of the recognition received by being indexed by Scopus. 
The Comprehensive, multidisciplinary, trusted abstract and 
citation database Using Scopus metrics, where a journal 
can demonstrate the influence of its scholarly output.

There are times, like the yearend, that the Editor-in-Chief 
must ring the alarm to create a needed inflection in Clin-
ical Engineering practitioners’ behavior.  Practitioners 
use variety of excuses, from “I am too busy” to “No one 
taught me how to write a paper” and on to “No hablo 
Ingles” to avoid the slight stress of added work associated 
with authoring a manuscript. This is the golden era to be 
in the Clinical Engineering field, however, without pub-
lishing your work you may fall short of developing your 
career and allowing the discipline to stay static or even

shrink. We all must advocate and share evidence for our 
field criticality in building access to safe and quality care 
experiences. You can trigger this inflection by submitting 
your manuscript now and encouraging your colleagues 
to follow the very same.     

Our field is going through exciting evolution and our 
year-end report is full of achievements and growing 
readership. We encourage you to contact any member 
of the Editorial Board or myself for specific information 
relating to publishing your research or best practices. 
Here are some general steps you can take:

1. Visit the Journal’s Website: Where you can find 
information about the editorial board, submission 
guidelines, how to write a scientific paper, and archived 
issues of the Journal.

2. Contact the Editorial Office: Look for contact infor-
mation for the journal’s manager on the website. You 
can send an email or make a phone call to inquire 
about the any other information you may be seeking.

3. Write a Paper: Start now drafting an idea and read-
ing how to craft a full manuscript at -  https://www.
globalce.org/index.php/GlobalCE/article/view/102

4. Professional Associations: The journal is associated 
with a professional organization, Global Clinical Engi-
neering Alliance, you might find relevant information 
through that organization’s website or publications.
Remember that the Journal is only a platform to help 

build the C.E. discipline, its networking, sharing of qual-
ity information, and your professional future. You, as 
participating authors and readers, will hopefully enjoy 
reading in next year-end Editor’s Corner of the many 
more achievements we will report together.
