Biophysical Journal

期刊简介：BJ publishes original articles, letters, and perspectives on important problems in modern biophysics. The papers should be written so as to be of interest to a broad community of biophysicists. BJ welcomes experimental studies that employ quantitative physical approaches for the study of biological systems, including or spanning scales from molecule to whole organism. Experimental studies of a purely descriptive or phenomenological nature, with no theoretical or mechanistic underpinning, are not appropriate for publication in BJ. Theoretical studies should offer new insights into the understanding ofexperimental results or suggest new experimentally testable hypotheses. Articles reporting significant methodological or technological advances, which have potential to open new areas of biophysical investigation, are also suitable for publication in BJ. Papers describing improvements in accuracy or speed of existing methods or extra detail within methods described previously are not suitable for BJ.

【译文】BJ发表关于现代生物物理学重要问题的原创文章、信件和观点。文章应写得对广泛的生物物理学家群体感兴趣。BJ欢迎采用定量物理方法研究生物系统（包括从分子到整个生物体的尺度）的实验研究。纯描述性或现象学研究，没有理论或机制基础，不适合在BJ上发表。理论研究应提供对实验结果理解的新见解或提出新的可实验检验的假设。报道具有潜在开拓生物物理学研究新领域的方法论或技术进步的文章也适合在BJ上发表。描述现有方法改进精度或速度或方法描述中的额外细节的文章不适合在BJ上发表。
