The Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology aims to publish high quality, original research articles, expository tutorial papers and review papers as well as short, critical comments on technical issues associated with the analysis of cellular information.The research papers will be technical presentations of new assertions, discoveries and tools, intended for a narrower specialist community. The tutorials, reviews and critical commentary will be targeted at a broader readership of biologists who are interested in using computers but are not knowledgeable about scientific computing, and equally, computer scientists who have an interest in biology but are not familiar with current thrusts nor the language of biology. Such carefully chosen tutorials and articles should greatly accelerate the rate of entry of these new creative scientists into the field.

《生物信息學(xué)與計(jì)算生物學(xué)雜志》旨在發(fā)表高質(zhì)量的原創(chuàng)研究論文、說(shuō)明性教程論文和綜述性論文，以及對(duì)與細(xì)胞信息分析相關(guān)的技術(shù)問(wèn)題的簡(jiǎn)短評(píng)論。這些研究論文將是新斷言、新發(fā)現(xiàn)和新工具的技術(shù)展示，面向更狹窄的專(zhuān)家群體。這些教程、評(píng)論和批判性評(píng)論將面向更廣泛的讀者，包括對(duì)使用計(jì)算機(jī)感興趣但不了解科學(xué)計(jì)算的生物學(xué)家，以及對(duì)生物學(xué)感興趣但不熟悉當(dāng)前研究方向或生物學(xué)語(yǔ)言的計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)家。這種精心挑選的教程和文章應(yīng)該會(huì)大大加快這些具有創(chuàng)造性的新科學(xué)家進(jìn)入該領(lǐng)域的速度。
