Guide for Authors
BioSystems encourages experimental, computational, and theoretical articles that link biology, evolutionary thinking, and the information processing sciences. The link areas form a circle that encompasses the fundamental nature of biological information processing, computational modeling of complex biological systems, evolutionary models of computation, the application of biological principles to the design of novel computing systems, and the use of biomolecular materials to synthesize artificial systems that capture essential principles of natural biological information processing.
Types of paper
Full or Regular Papers, Review Articles, Application Notes, Hypothesis Papers, Book Reviews.
Regular Papers
Regular Papers are original scientific articles describing research in any of the above areas irrespective of length. They are standard contributions to BioSystems.
Application Notes
Applications Notes are short original articles describing novel algorithms only specifically for software implementations devoted to Systems Biology. The aim of this section is to accelerate the publication process and to increase the visibility of software enabling the mathematical modelling and analysis of biological processes. Each Application note must be accompanied by sample data and relevant documentation (user manual, tutorial), ideally in the form of a dedicated website maintained by the author(s). All this material, including the software itself, must be freely available to academic user for at least two years after the publication date. Availability must be specified in the abstract of the article, along with the addresses where to obtain the material. The software should be extensively tested and run under on a wide range of machines. Application Notes should focus on the description of the main characteristics of the software itself, but can be accompanied by a few illustrative applications. The description of extensive biological applications can be submitted in the regular article section of the journal.
Book Reviews
Book reviews are typically short reviews of recently published books in the scientific literature within the interest of the readership of BioSystems and its scope as indicated above. Prior to submitting a book review, please contact the Editor-in-chief to determine if the book review is suitable or warranted for BioSystems. Requests for book reviews will be considered on an individual basis through contact with the Editor.
Review Articles
Review articles are typically longer contributions focusing on one topic within the scope of BioSystems. Authors interested in writing review articles for BioSystems should contact the Editor-in-Chief before submitting their contribution. Review articles will be printed on an irregular basis in BioSystems and are not meant to replace regular papers. Similarly, length regular papers should not be represented as review articles. Review articles are meant to survey a particular topic of interest and present a position on current and future directions of research for the community.
Hypothesis Papers
Hypothesis Papers provide an option for authors to advance new ideas, hypotheses, or theories. Such novel concepts are typically based primarily on previously published data, findings, or observations and a strong line of reasoning, rather than on extensive new experiments. Ideally, a way of testing the hypothesis or theory being proposed should be developed as part of the submission.
Contact details for submission
Papers should be submitted using the BioSystems online submission system, https://www.editorialmanager.com/BIOSYS.
