Journal of Theoretical Biology

期刊简介：The Journal of Theoretical Biology is the leading forum for theoretical perspectives that give insight into biological processes. It covers a very wide range of topics and is of interest to biologists in many areas of research, including:• Brain and Neuroscience• Cancer Growth and Treatment• Cell Biology• Developmental Biology• Ecology• Evolution• Immunology,• Infectious and non-infectious Diseases,• Mathematical, Computational, Biophysical and Statistical Modeling• Microbiology, Molecular Biology, and Biochemistry• Networks and Complex Systems• Physiology• Pharmacodynamics• Animal Behavior and Game TheoryAcceptable papers are those that bear significant importance on the biology per se being presented, and not on the mathematical analysis. Papers that include some data or experimental material bearing on theory will be considered, including those that contain comparative study, statistical data analysis, mathematical proof, computer simulations, experiments, field observations, or even philosophical arguments, which are all methods to support or reject theoretical ideas. However, there should be a concerted effort to make papers intelligible to biologists in the chosen field.

【译文】《理论生物学杂志》是理论视角提供对生物过程洞察的主要论坛。它涵盖了非常广泛的主题，对许多研究领域的生物学家都有兴趣，包括：• 大脑和神经科学• 癌症生长和治疗• 细胞生物学• 发育生物学• 生态学• 进化• 免疫学• 传染病和非传染病• 数学、计算、生物物理和统计建模• 微生物学、分子生物学和生物化学• 网络和复杂系统• 生理学• 药代动力学• 动物行为和博弈论。可接受的论文是那些对所呈现的生物学本身有重要意义的论文，而不是对数学分析。包括一些与理论相关的一些数据或实验材料的论文将被考虑，包括那些包含比较研究、统计数据分析、数学证明、计算机模拟、实验、实地观察，甚至哲学论证的论文，这些都是支持或反驳理论观点的方法。然而，应该共同努力使论文对所选领域的生物学家来说是可理解的。
