Biophysical Journal

Journal Title：Biophysical Journal

BJ publishes original articles, letters, and perspectives on important problems in modern biophysics. The papers should be written so as to be of interest to a broad community of biophysicists. BJ welcomes experimental studies that employ quantitative physical approaches for the study of biological systems, including or spanning scales from molecule to whole organism. Experimental studies of a purely descriptive or phenomenological nature, with no theoretical or mechanistic underpinning, are not appropriate for publication in BJ. Theoretical studies should offer new insights into the understanding ofexperimental results or suggest new experimentally testable hypotheses. Articles reporting significant methodological or technological advances, which have potential to open new areas of biophysical investigation, are also suitable for publication in BJ. Papers describing improvements in accuracy or speed of existing methods or extra detail within methods described previously are not suitable for BJ.

BJ 发表关于现代生物物理学重要问题的原创文章、信件和观点。论文的写作应能引起广大生物物理学家的兴趣。BJ 欢迎采用定量物理方法研究生物系统的实验研究，包括或涵盖从分子到整个生物体的尺度。纯描述性或现象学性质的实验研究，没有理论或机制基础，不适合在 BJ 上发表。理论研究应该为理解实验结果提供新的见解，或提出新的可通过实验测试的假设。报告重大方法或技术进步的文章，这些进步有可能开辟新的生物物理研究领域，也适合在 BJ 上发表。描述现有方法的准确性或速度改进或先前描述的方法的额外细节的论文不适合在 BJ 上发表。

Biophysical Journal创刊于1960年，由Biophysical Society出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖生物 - 生物物理全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 很快,2-3周 ，影响因子指数3.2，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
