Journal Title：Bioinspiration & Biomimetics

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics publishes research involving the study and distillation of principles and functions found in biological systems that have been developed through evolution, and application of this knowledge to produce novel and exciting basic technologies and new approaches to solving scientific problems. It provides a forum for interdisciplinary research which acts as a pipeline, facilitating the two-way flow of ideas and understanding between the extensive bodies of knowledge of the different disciplines. It has two principal aims: to draw on biology to enrich engineering and to draw from engineering to enrich biology.

The journal aims to include input from across all intersecting areas of both fields. In biology, this would include work in all fields from physiology to ecology, with either zoological or botanical focus. In engineering, this would include both design and practical application of biomimetic or bioinspired devices and systems. Typical areas of interest include:

Systems, designs and structure

Communication and navigation

Cooperative behaviour

Self-organizing biological systems

Self-healing and self-assembly

Aerial locomotion and aerospace applications of biomimetics

Biomorphic surface and subsurface systems

Marine dynamics: swimming and underwater dynamics

Applications of novel materials

Biomechanics; including movement, locomotion, fluidics

Cellular behaviour

Sensors and senses

Biomimetic or bioinformed approaches to geological exploration.

《生物靈感與仿生學》發表的研究涉及研究和提煉通過進化而形成的生物系統中發現的原理和功能，以及應用這些知識來產生新穎和令人興奮的基礎技術和解決科學問題的新方法。它為跨學科研究提供了一個論壇，充當管道，促進不同學科廣泛知識體系之間的思想和理解的雙向流動。它有兩個主要目標：利用生物學來豐富工程學，利用工程學來豐富生物學。

該期刊旨在涵蓋兩個領域所有交叉領域的投入。在生物學方面，這將包括從生理學到生態學的所有領域的工作，重點是動物學或植物學。在工程學方面，這將包括仿生或生物啟發設備和系統的設計和實際應用。典型的興趣領域包括：

系統、設計和結構

通信和導航

合作行為

自組織生物系統

自修復和自組裝

仿生學的空中運動和航空航天應用

仿生表面和地下系統

海洋動力學：游泳和水下動力學

新材料的應用

生物力學；包括運動、移動、流體學

細胞行為

傳感器和感官

仿生或生物信息地質勘探方法。

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics創刊于2006年，由IOP Publishing Ltd.出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋工程技術 - 材料科學：生物材料全領域，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 較慢,6-12周 ，影響因子指數3.1，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。
