Bioinspiration & Biomimetics

Journal Title：Bioinspiration & Biomimetics

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics publishes research involving the study and distillation of principles and functions found in biological systems that have been developed through evolution, and application of this knowledge to produce novel and exciting basic technologies and new approaches to solving scientific problems. It provides a forum for interdisciplinary research which acts as a pipeline, facilitating the two-way flow of ideas and understanding between the extensive bodies of knowledge of the different disciplines. It has two principal aims: to draw on biology to enrich engineering and to draw from engineering to enrich biology.

The journal aims to include input from across all intersecting areas of both fields. In biology, this would include work in all fields from physiology to ecology, with either zoological or botanical focus. In engineering, this would include both design and practical application of biomimetic or bioinspired devices and systems. Typical areas of interest include:

Systems, designs and structure

Communication and navigation

Cooperative behaviour

Self-organizing biological systems

Self-healing and self-assembly

Aerial locomotion and aerospace applications of biomimetics

Biomorphic surface and subsurface systems

Marine dynamics: swimming and underwater dynamics

Applications of novel materials

Biomechanics; including movement, locomotion, fluidics

Cellular behaviour

Sensors and senses

Biomimetic or bioinformed approaches to geological exploration.

《生物灵感与仿生学》发表的研究涉及研究和提炼通过进化而形成的生物系统中发现的原理和功能，以及应用这些知识来产生新颖和令人兴奋的基础技术和解决科学问题的新方法。它为跨学科研究提供了一个论坛，充当管道，促进不同学科广泛知识体系之间的思想和理解的双向流动。它有两个主要目标：利用生物学来丰富工程学，利用工程学来丰富生物学。

该期刊旨在涵盖两个领域所有交叉领域的投入。在生物学方面，这将包括从生理学到生态学的所有领域的工作，重点是动物学或植物学。在工程学方面，这将包括仿生或生物启发设备和系统的设计和实际应用。典型的兴趣领域包括：

系统、设计和结构

通信和导航

合作行为

自组织生物系统

自修复和自组装

仿生学的空中运动和航空航天应用

仿生表面和地下系统

海洋动力学：游泳和水下动力学

新材料的应用

生物力学；包括运动、移动、流体学

细胞行为

传感器和感官

仿生或生物信息地质勘探方法。

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics创刊于2006年，由IOP Publishing Ltd.出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖工程技术 - 材料科学：生物材料全领域，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 较慢,6-12周 ，影响因子指数3.1，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。
