IEEE prints author initials before the surname and abbreviates the periodical title. Check the abbreviation for BioMed Research International against your target publication's reference list before submitting.
APA
Florencio‐Silva, R., Sasso, G. R. D. S., Sasso‐Cerri, E., Simões, M. D. J., & Cerri, P. S. (2015). Biology of Bone Tissue: Structure, Function, and Factors That Influence Bone Cells. BioMed Research International, 2015, 1-17. https://doi.org/10.1155/2015/421746
APA puts the year directly after the authors, keeps the full journal title in italics, and renders the DOI as a URL.
BibTeX
@article{florenciosilva2015,
author = {Rinaldo Florencio‐Silva and Gisela Rodrigues da Silva Sasso and Estela Sasso‐Cerri and Manuel de Jesus Simões and Paulo Sérgio Cerri},

issn = {1110-7243},
doi = {10.1155/2015/421746}
}The citation key is the first author's surname and the year. Keep it stable once it appears in a draft, because renaming it breaks every cite that used it.
What to verify before you submit
- The volume and page range. BioMed Research International records 27,725 works, and articles published online first can carry a different volume from the final issue. Cite the version you read.
- The abbreviated title. IEEE style uses standard periodical abbreviations, and registry metadata almost always returns the full name instead.
- Author name order. Registry records store full given names; IEEE and APA both want initials, formatted differently from each other.
- Whether the article is open access. This journal is not fully open access, which affects whether a reader can reach the version you cited.
- That the source supports your claim. A correctly formatted reference says nothing about whether the passage backs the sentence citing it.

Questions about BioMed Research International
What is the ISSN of BioMed Research International?
The linking ISSN is 1110-7243. The journal also carries 1110-7251 and 2314-6133 and 2314-6141, which usually separate the print and electronic editions. Use the linking ISSN in a BibTeX issn field.
Who publishes BioMed Research International?
Hindawi Publishing Corporation publishes it. Check the journal's own author guidance rather than a general publisher template, because reference style is set per title.
Is BioMed Research International open access?
OpenAlex does not record it as fully open access. Some articles may still be open individually, so check the specific article rather than assuming from the journal.
How do I cite an article from BioMed Research International in LaTeX?
Use the BibTeX entry above as the pattern. The entry type is article, the journal field holds the full title, and the citation key florenciosilva2015 follows the first author's surname and the year. Brace any acronym in the title so your bibliography style does not lowercase it.
Does BioMed Research International use page numbers or article numbers?
The example article runs from page 1 to 17, so this journal used page ranges at least for that volume. Newer issues in many journals switched to article numbers, so check the version you are citing.
How influential is BioMed Research International?
Its h-index is 259, above 12% of the journals covered here, and its articles have been cited 859,500 times in total. Its two-year mean citedness is 1.16. These are indexing figures, not a judgement of whether a specific article is sound.
Does BioMed Research International have a Journal Impact Factor?
Not one shown here. The Journal Impact Factor is Clarivate's metric, published in Journal Citation Reports and readable only with a JCR subscription, so this page does not restate it. The figures above come from OpenAlex: an h-index of 259 and a two-year mean citedness of 1.16 across 27,725 indexed works, captured on 2026-09-18. Mean citedness averages citations per work over a two-year window, which makes it closer in construction to CiteScore than to the Impact Factor. The three are not interchangeable, so quote whichever one your target venue actually asks for.
