Our Journal is entering into its second decade

The tremendous growth of bioimpedance publications the last 30 years has been analyzed by Spanish scientists [1] using the Scopus database (Fig. 1). The same database indexes also the papers of our Journal of Electrical Bioimpedance In Fig. 2 is drawn a list of institutions with the most extensive rate of publications. True, the figures reflect only the quantity, but also the improvements in content and quality are characteristic to the last decades of biompedance research.

The development of instrumentation has led us to wearable and implantable devices enabling continuous monitoring of bioimpedance variations in a wide frequency range. Impedance spectroscopy, tomography and spectro-tomography devices give us a huge amount of data within short time intervals. Although a large amount of data is gathered, less information is available on this and still the lack of knowledge remains obvious. Therefore, implementation of data handling and artificial intelligence methods is urgent.
