Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In 2020, we will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Life, a journal that was accepted for inclusion in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) in 2019. We would like to thank our readers, innumerable authors, anonymous peer reviewers, editors, and others who have contributed to the journal in some way over the last 10 years. Without your help, the journal would not have grown to its current level.
To mark this important milestone, a Special Issue entitled “Recent Advances in Biophysics” is being launched. This will present a collection of high quality papers in the biophysics research fields. We encourage research groups to contribute up-to-date, comprehensive papers highlighting the latest developments in biophysics. We welcome contributions that contribute to a greater understanding of the biophysics underpinning all fundamental themes in life sciences, from abiogenesis to xenobiology.
Prof. Phil Williams
Guest Editor
