Aim and Scope
Biological Reports is an international peer-reviewed scientific journal that aims to promote high-quality research focused on understanding the underlying mechanisms governing natural, biological, chemical, physical, and technological processes. The journal places strong emphasis on studies that move beyond descriptive observations and provide clear, evidence-based explanations of how and why a phenomenon occurs.
The primary aim of the journal is to serve as a platform for researchers, academicians, and industry scientists to communicate mechanistic interpretations that advance fundamental knowledge and support translational applications. Contributions that connect experimental findings with theoretical reasoning, analytical models, or system-level explanations are particularly encouraged.
The scope of Biological Reports includes original research articles, comprehensive reviews, short communications, and perspective papers that contribute to a deeper understanding of process-level mechanisms across disciplines. The journal welcomes interdisciplinary studies where mechanistic reasoning is central to the scientific outcome.
Areas of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Molecular, cellular, and biochemical mechanisms
- Chemical reaction pathways and catalytic processes
- Systems biology and network-level regulation
- Mechanistic aspects of disease development and therapeutic response
- Physical, environmental, and material science mechanisms
- Computational, mathematical, and modelling-based mechanistic studies
- Novel experimental and analytical approaches enabling mechanistic interpretation
Studies integrating experimental data with simulations, modelling, or theoretical frameworks to explain causality and functional relevance are highly encouraged. Research addressing reproducibility, validation of mechanisms, and translation of mechanistic understanding into practical solutions is also within the journal’s scope.
Biological Reports aims to foster scientific clarity, critical thinking, and mechanistic reasoning, supporting the advancement of science through transparent, well-designed, and ethically conducted research. The journal seeks contributions from researchers worldwide and strives to maintain high editorial standards while promoting accessibility and global scientific collaboration.
