Journal Title：Biophysical Journal

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.

BJ 發表關于現代生物物理學重要問題的原創文章、信件和觀點。論文的寫作應能引起廣大生物物理學家的興趣。BJ 歡迎采用定量物理方法研究生物系統的實驗研究，包括或涵蓋從分子到整個生物體的尺度。純描述性或現象學性質的實驗研究，沒有理論或機制基礎，不適合在 BJ 上發表。理論研究應該為理解實驗結果提供新的見解，或提出新的可通過實驗測試的假設。報告重大方法或技術進步的文章，這些進步有可能開辟新的生物物理研究領域，也適合在 BJ 上發表。描述現有方法的準確性或速度改進或先前描述的方法的額外細節的論文不適合在 BJ 上發表。

Biophysical Journal創刊于1960年，由Biophysical Society出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋生物 - 生物物理全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 很快,2-3周 ，影響因子指數3.2，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
