Aims & Scope

The journal publishes original scientific articles on the application of algorithm theory, methods of applied mathematics, and statistics for solving biological problems. The journal's subject matter includes: bioinformatics (application of algorithms and statistical procedures for analyzing huge volumes of information generated by high-tech methods of experimental biology and molecular genetics); mathematical biology (formalization and mathematical modeling of biological objects and their communities); computational genomics (study of the structure and functions of cell and organism genomes); molecular modeling (mathematical modeling of biological processes, including simulation modeling); structural biology (modeling and prediction of biomolecule structures and their complexes from experimental data); computational biochemistry and biophysics (kinetic and thermodynamic models of cellular processes and their interactions, molecular dynamics methods).

Frequently asked questions about Mathematical Biology and Bioinformatics

Is Mathematical Biology and Bioinformatics a predatory journal?

PubScope has no integrity flags on record for Mathematical Biology and Bioinformatics: it is indexed in Scopus, and is not on DOAJ's withdrawn list. Indexing is a transparency signal, not a guarantee — always confirm fit and policies before submitting.

What is the impact factor of Mathematical Biology and Bioinformatics?

Mathematical Biology and Bioinformatics is not in the Web of Science Core Collection, so it has no official Clarivate Journal Impact Factor. Its SCImago SJR score is 0.144.

Is Mathematical Biology and Bioinformatics indexed in Scopus and Web of Science?

Mathematical Biology and Bioinformatics is indexed in Scopus.

What is the aims and scope of Mathematical Biology and Bioinformatics?

The journal publishes original scientific articles on the application of algorithm theory, methods of applied mathematics, and statistics for solving biological problems. The journal's subject matter includes: bioinformatics (application of algorithms and statistical procedures for analyzing huge volumes of information generated by high-tech methods of experimental biology and molecular genetics); mathematical biology (formalization and mathematical modeling of biological objects and their communities); computational genomics (study of the structure and functions of cell and organism genomes);
