Journal Guide

BioData Mining publishes original articles on all aspects of data mining applied to high-dimensional biological and biomedical data, focusing on computational aspects of knowledge discovery from large-scale genetic, transcriptomic, genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data.

Biosystematics and Ecology (BiosystEcol) is a scientific peer-reviewed, open access journal, designed to rapidly publish contributions on a wide range of ecology and biosystematics related papers. The key focus is to provide biodiversity data, such as catalogi, checklists and interdisciplinary research to the scientific community while ensuring maximum possible accessibility, usability, and transparency.

An essential resource for R&D professionals and clinicians with an interest in biologic therapies.BioDrugs covers the development and use of biotechnology-based pharmaceuticals and innovative technologies for the treatment of human disease.

BioEnergy Research fills a void in the rapidly growing area of feedstock biology research related to biomass, biofuels, and bioenergy. The journal publishes a wide range of articles, including peer-reviewed scientific research, reviews, perspectives and commentary, industry news, and government policy updates. Its coverage brings together a uniquely broad combination of disciplines with a common focus on feedstock biology and science, related to biomass, biofeedstock, and bioenergy production.

molecular - cellular - biomedical - physiology - translational research - systems - hypotheses encouraged BioEssays is a review-and-discussion journal publishing novel insights, forward-looking reviews and commentaries in contemporary biology with a molecular, genetic, cellular, or physiological dimension. A further aim is to emphasise transdisciplinarity and integrative biology in the context of organismal studies, systems approaches, through to ecosystems where appropriate. The journal has three main sections: Insights & Perspectives (for ideas, hypotheses and commentaries), Prospects & Overviews (for review-style articles) and Reports & Opinion (for meeting reports, book reviews and letters to the Editor). The Prospects & Overviews section contains mini-reviews highlighting very recent research articles, and longer papers that present a field, its developments and prospects for a broad readership; we also welcome methods papers (including presentation of new model systems) under the rubric Methods, Models & Techniques. The journal's insightful analysis makes it essential reading for professional researchers (from basic research through to medically-related fields), as well as an invaluable tool for lecturers and students. Mean time to first decision: 22 days Affiliated with Epigenesis, the European Network of Excellence for epigenetics research.

BioFactors is an international journal aimed at identifying and increasing our understanding of the precise biochemical effects and roles of the large number of trace substances that are required by living organisms. These include vitamins and trace elements, as well as growth factors and regulatory substances made by cells themselves. The elucidation, in a particular organism or cell line, of the roles of substances active in trace quantities, is frequently applicable directly to many other forms of life.

BioMed Research International (formerly titled Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology) is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles as well as review articles in several areas of life sciences. The subject areas covered by the journal are:BiochemistryBioinformaticsBiophysicsBiotechnologyCell BiologyGeneticsGenomicsImmunologyMicrobiologyMolecular BiologyOncologyPharmacologyToxicologyVirology.

BioMedical Engineering OnLine is ready to receive manuscripts on all aspects of biomedical engineering.
