Biological Sciences *: Journals

Biological Reviews is a unique journal covering the entire range of the biological sciences. Our research is aimed at non-specialist biologists as well as researchers in the field. Our research includes introductions to particular fields, defining the state of the art, and drawing attention to gaps in knowledge. Our authors gain international exposure with global circulation when publishing in Biological Reviews. Published on behalf of the Cambridge Philosophical Society.

Science China Life Sciences is an academic journal cosponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and published by Science China Press. It is committed to publishing high-quality, original results in both basic and applied Life Science research.

Since 1964, BioScience has presented readers with timely and authoritative overviews of current research in biology, accompanied by essays and discussion sections on education, public policy, history, and the conceptual underpinnings of the biological sciences. A peer-reviewed, heavily cited, monthly journal with content written and edited for accessibility to researchers, educators, and students alike. BioScience includes articles about research findings and techniques, advances in biology education, professionally written feature articles about the latest frontiers in biology, discussions of professional issues, book reviews, news about AIBS, a policy column (Washington Watch), and an education column (Eye on Education). Roundtables, forums, and viewpoint articles offer the perspectives of opinion leaders and invite further commentary.

Current Biology is a general journal that publishes original research across all areas of biology together with an extensive and varied set of editorial sections. A primary aim of the journal is to foster communication across fields of biology, both by publishing important findings of general interest from diverse fields and through highly accessible editorial articles that explicitly aim to inform non-specialists.

PLOS Biology publishes significant advances across the biological sciences. And we push boundaries.
Designed to advance science and the communities who depend upon it, we’re transforming research communication to fit the research process. Evolving article types and policies empower authors to share the full story behind their science with a global audience of researchers, educators, policy makers, patient advocacy groups, and the public.

The WIREs Computational Molecular Science use the techniques of chemical as well as physical theories and computer-based modeling to examine and elucidate all aspects of the molecular sciences. These approaches bridge chemistry, biology, the materials sciences, and neighboring application-driven fields. WIREs Computational Molecular Science – part of the award-winning Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews series – is a reviews journal highlighting research from all these fields.

Briefings in Bioinformatics is an international, interdisciplinary journal serving researchers and educators across the life sciences, as well as mathematicians, statisticians, computer scientists, and clinicians applying their expertise to biological problems. The journal publishes reviews, new methods, case studies, and opinion articles focused on the use of databases and analytical tools in contemporary genetics, molecular biology, and systems biology.

The Annual Review of Marine Science provides a perspective on the field of marine science. The journal draws from diverse topics within the major disciplines of coastal and blue water oceanography (biological, chemical, geological and physical) as well as subjects in ecology, conservation and technological developments with the marine environment as the unifying theme.

Marine Life Science & Technology (MLST), launched in 2019, publishes original research papers with new discoveries and theories across a broad range of life sciences and technologies, including basic biology, fisheries science and technology, medicinal bioresources, food science, biotechnology, ecology and environmental biology, especially (but not exclusively) associated with marine organisms and habitats. The journal puts emphasis on fostering synergistic interactions among the broad disciplines mentioned above, and aims to promote multidisciplinary approaches within the field of sciences. The journal is intended for biological scientists, aquaculture researchers, marine technologists, biological oceanographers and ecologists.

Neuroscience is the archetypal multidisciplinary science encompassing a variety of fields that share the common goal of attempting to provide a complete understanding of the structure and function of the central nervous system. A series of advances in molecular, developmental and cognitive neuroscience, stimulated by the advent of powerful new experimental techniques and theoretical approaches, have now rendered some of the most enduring neurobiological questions increasingly tractable. This explosion of knowledge has in turn created a need for new tools to efficiently organize and communicate this information. Nature Reviews Neuroscience covers the breadth and depth of modern neuroscience by providing an authoritative, accessible, topical, and engaging first port of call for scientists who are interested in all aspects of neuroscience.

Nature Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes papers of the highest quality and significance in all areas of neuroscience. The editors welcome contributions in molecular, cellular, systems and cognitive neuroscience, as well as psychophysics, computational modeling and diseases of the nervous system. No area is excluded from consideration, although priority is given to studies that provide fundamental insights into the functioning of the nervous system.
