Physics of Life Reviews SCIE

中文简介

《生命物理学评论》是一份国际期刊，每季出版一期，发表关于生命系统物理学、生物系统中的复杂现象以及人工生命、机器人、数学生物符号学、人工智能系统等相关领域的评论文章。这本杂志是一个统一的力量，跨越学科之间的障碍，解决所有的生命系统，从分子到群体，从遗传学到思维和人工系统建模这些现象。该杂志邀请积极工作的研究人员进行评论，内容广泛、批判性强，我们的广大读者都能读到，有时还会对最近的进展和问题进行有争议的报道。《生命物理学评论》旨在通过及时发表评论，使活跃的研究者跟上各种主题的发展，这些评论不仅是文献调查，通常也不是完整的专著。虽然大多数的审查将是专业性质的，但每一份审查应包含足够的介绍性材料，使非专业人员能够理解要点，并鼓励和促进跨学科研究。期刊名称中的“物理学”是指将物理学的各个领域统一起来的方法论:(1)阐明基本原理，(2)建立数学模型，(3)进行实验验证的预测。我们寻求对这一普遍范式有抱负的审查。审查应明确处理某一领域中最重要的概念问题，审查现有的理论和方法及其成就、缺点或困难与新理论、方法或方法处理的问题、未解决的问题，以及为什么取得或预期取得重大进展。未来的研究方向，未解决的问题，实验证实或争议也应予以解决。

英文简介

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.
