Biophysics Reports

Aims & Scope

Biophysics Reports is a new international open-access journal to be launched in 2015.

Biophysics Reports will offer a worldwide forum for publishing novel theories, methods, protocols and significant improvements on basic research techniques in multidisciplinary areas of the biological and biomedical sciences.

The journal welcomes submissions reporting on methods and/or techniques including but not limited to those used in: biophysics, cell biology, immunology, membrane biology, redox biology, photobiology, neurobiology, oncology, biochemistry, biomechanics and mechanobiology, structural biology, biomedical imaging, electron microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, computational biology, bioinformatics, nano biomedicine, genetics, model organisms, protein science, developmental biology, omics and biomedical big data.

We also encourage authors to submit research articles that include data based on specific methods or techniques.

The article types include: Methods, Protocols, Research Articles, Puncta and Reviews/Minireviews.

As the official journal of the Biophysical Society of China, Biophysics Reports ensures an unbiased and expedient peer-reviewing process and offers open access publishing.

The article-processing charges for this journal are kindly sponsored by the Biophysical Society of China and the Institute of Biophysics, CAS.

As such, authors can publish in the journal without any additional charges.
