Machine Learning for Biomedical Imaging
Welcome to Melba (Machine Learning for Biomedical Imaging), a web-based journal devoted to the free and unrestricted access of high quality articles in the broad field that bridges machine learning and biomedical imaging. There are no publication charges with MELBA: you wrote it, the community reviewed it, we publish it – no hidden charges and you own your own publication. *
* The Scholastica submission system requires a $10 charge during initial submission. However, we are actively working on removing this as well.
You can read more about the mission statement of the journal, or jump right away to the journal publications. For authors, instructions are available here.
