Aims & Scope

As a result of recent advances in MEMS/NEMS and systems biology, as well as the emergence of synthetic bacteria and lab/process-on-a-chip techniques, it is now possible to design chemical β€œcircuits”, custom organisms, micro/nanoscale swarms of devices, and a host of new systems. This success opens up a new frontier for interdisciplinary communications techniques using chemistry, biology, and other principles that have not been considered in the communications literature. The IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications (T-MBMSC) is devoted to the principles, design, and analysis of communication systems that use physics beyond classical electromagnetism. This includes molecular, quantum, and other physical, chemical and biological techniques; as well as new communication techniques at small scales or across multiple scales (e.g., nano to micro to macro; note that strictly nanoscale systems, 1-100 nm, are outside the scope of this journal). Original research articles on one or more of the following topics are within scope: mathematical modeling, information/communication and network theoretic analysis, standardization and industrial applications, and analytical or experimental studies on communication processes or networks in biology. Contributions on related topics may also be considered for publication. Contributions from researchers outside the IEEE’s typical audience are encouraged.

Frequently asked questions about IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications

Is IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications a predatory journal?

PubScope has no integrity flags on record for IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications: it is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, and is not on DOAJ's withdrawn list. Its PubScope Trust Score is 72/100. Indexing is a transparency signal, not a guarantee β€” always confirm fit and policies before submitting.

What is the impact factor of IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications?

IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications is indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, so Clarivate publishes an official Journal Impact Factor for it (since the 2023 Journal Citation Reports, every Core Collection journal β€” including Arts & Humanities and Emerging Sources titles β€” receives one). PubScope links to Clarivate's official source rather than reprinting the number, which can be out of date. As an open alternative, its Scopus CiteScore is 4.2.

Is IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications indexed in Scopus and Web of Science?
