Physics of Life Reviews is an international journal appearing quarterly, that publishes review articles on physics of living systems, complex phenomena in biological systems, and related fields of artificial life, robotics, mathematical bio-semiotics, and artificial intelligent systems. This journal is a unifying force, going across the barriers between disciplines, addressing all living systems from molecules to populations and from genetics to mind and artificial systems modeling these phenomena. The journal invites reviews from actively working researchers, which are broad in scope, critical, accessible to our wide readership and addresses sometimes controversial accounts of recent progress and problems.Physics of Life Reviews intends to keep the active researcher abreast of developments on a wide range of topics by publishing timely reviews, which are more than mere literature surveys but normally less than a full monograph. Although most of the reviews will be of a specialist nature, each review should contain enough introductory material to make the main points intelligible to a non-specialist and to inspire and facilitate interdisciplinary research. "Physics" in the journal name refers to the methodology unifying all areas of physics: (1) elucidating fundamental principles, (2) developing a mathematical model, (3) making experimentally verifiable predictions. We seek reviews aspiring to this universal paradigm. The reviews should address in a clear way the most important conceptual issues in a field, review existing theories and methods with their achievements and drawbacks or difficulties versus the issues, unsolved problems addressed by a new theory, method, or approach, and why a significant progress is achieved or expected. Future research directions, remaining unsolved problems, and experimental confirmations or controversies should also be addressed.

《生命物理學評論》是一份國際期刊，每季出版一期，發表關于生命系統物理學、生物系統中的復雜現象以及人工生命、機器人、數學生物符號學、人工智能系統等相關領域的評論文章。這本雜志是一個統一的力量，跨越學科之間的障礙，解決所有的生命系統，從分子到群體，從遺傳學到思維和人工系統建模這些現象。該雜志邀請積極工作的研究人員進行評論，內容廣泛、批判性強，我們的廣大讀者都能讀到，有時還會對最近的進展和問題進行有爭議的報道。《生命物理學評論》旨在通過及時發表評論，使活躍的研究者跟上各種主題的發展，這些評論不僅是文獻調查，通常也不是完整的專著。雖然大多數的審查將是專業性質的，但每一份審查應包含足夠的介紹性材料，使非專業人員能夠理解要點，并鼓勵和促進跨學科研究。期刊名稱中的“物理學”是指將物理學的各個領域統一起來的方法論:(1)闡明基本原理，(2)建立數學模型，(3)進行實驗驗證的預測。我們尋求對這一普遍范式有抱負的審查。審查應明確處理某一領域中最重要的概念問題，審查現有的理論和方法及其成就、缺點或困難與新理論、方法或方法處理的問題、未解決的問題，以及為什么取得或預期取得重大進展。未來的研究方向，未解決的問題，實驗證實或爭議也應予以解決。
