5 Year impact factor: 1.8
Impact factor: 2

BioSystems encourages theoretical, computational, and experimental articles that link biology, evolutionary concepts, and the information sciences. The journal is dedicated to publishing research on self-organizing information systems—with the goal of obtaining a better understanding of the origins of biochemical, genetic, epigenetic, physiological, cognitive, linguistic, sociocultural, and biological organization and evolution.The scope of the journal encompasses the fundamental nature of biological information and (self)-organization. This includes quantum phenomena in information transfer, natural computing, biological coding systems, biological complexity, theoretical biology, artificial life, computational modeling of complex biological systems, evolutionary models of computation, application of biological principles to the design of novel computing systems, and the use of biomolecular materials to synthesize artificial systems that capture essential principles of natural biological information processing.The journal does not publish purely medical, computational, or ecological research, unless it is clearly linked to the basic and conceptual aspects of biological organization.The editors encourage articles that deal, in particular, with the following topics:Biological computationMolecular recognitionPhysical foundations of biologyQuantum phenomena in biological systemsCellular controlNeuromolecular computingBiological coding systemsMolecular computing processesSelf-organizing and self-replicating systemsOrigin of the genetic codeOrigins and evolution of genomesStochastic evolutionary algorithmsOrigins and evolution of mind and languageEcological evolutionary developmental biologyReticulate evolution (symbiosis, symbiogenesis, lateral gene transfer)Simulation of genetic and ecological systemsApplications (neural nets, machine learning, robotics)History and philosophy of scienceIn addition, the editors encourage the following types of papers for submission: Papers that extract novel biological insights from multidimensional data, using AI-driven language modelsBiological hypothesis papers producing new insights based on a body of pre-existing empirical researchPerspectives papers intended to stimulate scientific discussions and provide guidelines for future directions

Computational Biology and Chemistry

ISSN: 1476-9271
5 Year impact factor: 2.6
Impact factor: 2.6

Computational Biology and Chemistry publishes high quality full-length articles and review articles in all areas of computational life sciences. It covers a very wide range of areas of research, including:Nucleic Acid and Protein Sequence ResearchMolecular EvolutionMolecular Genetics (Functional Genomics and Proteomics)Biology-Specific Modeling Theory and PracticeChemical-Biology-Specific Modeling Theory and PracticeStructural Biology of Nucleic Acids and ProteinsBioinformaticsSystems BiologyEcologyComputational PharmacologyComputational Molecular BiophysicsMetabolismBiomedical EngineeringEpidemiologyStatistical GeneticsInnovative AI methodologies for biological data, biomolecular modelling and machine learning modelsGiven their inherent uncertainty, protein modeling and molecular docking studies should be thoroughly validated. In the absence of experimental results for validation, the use of molecular dynamics simulations along with detailed free energy calculations, for example, should be used as complementary techniques to support the major conclusions. Submissions of premature modeling exercises without additional biological insights will not be considered.

Current Opinion in Systems Biology is a new review journal that aims to provide specialists with a unique and educational platform to keep up-to-date with the expanding volume of information published in the field of Systems Biology. It publishes polished, concise and timely reviews and opinion articles. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion on the topics discussed. As this is such a broad discipline, we have determined themed sections each of which is regularly reviewed.The following areas will be covered by Current Opinion in Systems Biology: • Genomics and Epigenomics • Gene Regulation • Metabolic Networks • Cancer and Systemic Diseases • Mathematical Modelling • Big Data Acquisition and Analysis • Systems Pharmacology and Physiology • Synthetic Biology • Stem Cells, Development, and Differentiation • Systems Biology of Model Organisms • Systems Immunology and Host-Pathogen Interaction • Systems Ecology and EvolutionSection Editors, who are major authorities in the field, are appointed by the Editors in Chief of the journal. They divide their sections into a number of topics, ensuring that the field is comprehensively covered and that all issues of current importance are emphasised. Section Editors commission reviews from authors on each topic that they have selected and arrange for the peer review process. The papers are reviewed by 2 independent reviewers.ReviewsAuthors write short review articles in which they present recent developments in their subject, emphasizing the aspects that, in their opinion, are most important. In addition, they provide short annotations to the papers that they consider to be most interesting from all those published in their topic over the previous year.Opinion ArticlesAuthoritative opinion articles that provide an in-depth background and personal, well reasoned perspective on current, relevant as well as controversial topics within the themes of the journal will be written by the Editor-in-Chief and / or invited by the Editor-in-Chief.Editorial OverviewSection Editors write a short overview at the beginning of the section to introduce the reviews and to draw the reader's attention to any particular interesting developments.Invited authors are encouraged to visit our Guide for Authors for information on article submission.

Journal of Theoretical Biology

ISSN: 0022-5193
5 Year impact factor: 1.9
Impact factor: 1.9

The Journal of Theoretical Biology is the leading forum for theoretical perspectives that give insight into biological processes. It covers a very wide range of topics and is of interest to biologists in many areas of research, including:• Brain and Neuroscience • Cancer Growth and Treatment • Cell Biology • Developmental Biology • Ecology • Evolution • Immunology, • Infectious and non-infectious Diseases, • Mathematical, Computational, Biophysical and Statistical Modeling • Microbiology, Molecular Biology, and Biochemistry • Networks and Complex Systems • Physiology • Pharmacodynamics • Animal Behavior and Game TheoryAcceptable papers are those that bear significant importance on the biology per se being presented, and not on the mathematical analysis. Papers that include some data or experimental material bearing on theory will be considered, including those that contain comparative study, statistical data analysis, mathematical proof, computer simulations, experiments, field observations, or even philosophical arguments, which are all methods to support or reject theoretical ideas. However, there should be a concerted effort to make papers intelligible to biologists in the chosen field.Whatever the topic of the paper, please note that the biological significance of the problem being studied should be clearly stated. In addition, Highlights are required for each article and they should feature the biological applications as well as any theoretical advancements.Highly speculative papers not based on current biological knowledge will not be accepted. Importantly, papers in which only mathematics is utilized, only technical mathematical results are proved, or standard statistical/bioinformatics methods are applied to existing genomic data, without new theoretical perspective or biologically novel insight will NOT be considered. The journal does not accept unsolicited review papers. Comments on theoretical issues or on papers published specifically in the Journal of Theoretical Biology are welcomed in the form of Letters to the Editors.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
