Journal Title：Origins Of Life And Evolution Of Biospheres

The subject of the origin and early evolution of life is an inseparable part of the general discipline of Astrobiology. The journal Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres places special importance on the interconnection as well as the interdisciplinary nature of these fields, as is reflected in its subject coverage. While any scientific study which contributes to our understanding of the origins, evolution and distribution of life in the Universe is suitable for inclusion in the journal, some examples of important areas of interest are: prebiotic chemistry and the nature of Earth's early environment, self-replicating and self-organizing systems, the theory of the RNA world and of other possible precursor systems, and the problem of the origin of the genetic code. Early evolution of life - as revealed by such techniques as the elucidation of biochemical pathways, molecular phylogeny, the study of Precambrian sediments and fossils and of major innovations in microbial evolution - forms a second focus. As a larger and more general context for these areas, Astrobiology refers to the origin and evolution of life in a cosmic setting, and includes interstellar chemistry, planetary atmospheres and habitable zones, the organic chemistry of comets, meteorites, asteroids and other small bodies, biological adaptation to extreme environments, life detection and related areas. Experimental papers, theoretical articles and authorative literature reviews are all appropriate forms for submission to the journal. In the coming years, Astrobiology will play an even greater role in defining the journal's coverage and keeping Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres well-placed in this growing interdisciplinary field.

生命起源和早期進化是天體生物學(xué)這一學(xué)科不可分割的一部分。《生命起源和生物圈進化》雜志特別重視這些領(lǐng)域的相互聯(lián)系和跨學(xué)科性質(zhì)，這反映在其主題報道中。雖然任何有助于我們了解宇宙中生命的起源、進化和分布的科學(xué)研究都適合收錄在該雜志中，但一些重要領(lǐng)域的例子包括：生命起源化學(xué)和地球早期環(huán)境的性質(zhì)、自我復(fù)制和自我組織系統(tǒng)、RNA 世界和其他可能的前體系統(tǒng)的理論以及遺傳密碼的起源問題。生命的早期進化——通過闡明生化途徑、分子系統(tǒng)發(fā)育、前寒武紀(jì)沉積物和化石研究以及微生物進化的重大創(chuàng)新等技術(shù)揭示——構(gòu)成了第二個重點。作為這些領(lǐng)域的更大、更一般的背景，天體生物學(xué)是指宇宙環(huán)境中生命的起源和進化，包括星際化學(xué)、行星大氣和宜居帶、彗星、隕石、小行星和其他小天體的有機化學(xué)、生物對極端環(huán)境的適應(yīng)、生命探測和相關(guān)領(lǐng)域。實驗論文、理論文章和權(quán)威文獻綜述都是提交給該期刊的合適形式。在未來幾年，天體生物學(xué)將在確定期刊的覆蓋范圍方面發(fā)揮更大的作用，并使《生命起源》和《生物圈進化》在這個不斷發(fā)展的跨學(xué)科領(lǐng)域中占據(jù)有利地位。

Origins Of Life And Evolution Of Biospheres創(chuàng)刊于1968年，由Springer Netherlands出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋生物 - 生物學(xué)全領(lǐng)域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細分領(lǐng)域中專業(yè)影響力一般，過審相對較易，如果您文章質(zhì)量佳，選擇此期刊，發(fā)表機率較高。平均審稿速度 12周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數(shù)1.9，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
