Aims & Scope
Biophysics and Physicobiology (BPPB) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access online journal published officially by the Bi ophysical Society of Japan (BSJ) for all areas of biophysics with either the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license or the CC BY 4.0 license, which is selected in accordance with the authors’ preference . Biophysics has long been developed in a field of physics using physical methods and theories to study the structures and functions of biological systems. The BSJ had originally published a journal, "Biophysics" , since 2005, but changed its name in 2015 adding a word "Physicobiology". It is a new word, proposing that the scope of the journal could be widen to broader range of biologists and could further stimulate the exchange of ideas among the biophysicists.
