Aims & Scope

Aims

In Silico Biology (ISSN 1386-6338) is an international, peer‑reviewed open‑access journal dedicated to advancing computational modelling and simulations for complex biological phenomena. It publishes high-quality original research, methodological papers and special‑issue contributions that develop or deploy computer-based (i.e., “in silico”) tools to predict, unravel and analyze the dynamics, design, control and evolution of biological systems, with optional supporting experimental validation.

Our mission is to deepen understanding of the organizational principles of living systems. We welcome integrative, multi-scale computational frameworks that reveal cross-talk underlying system-level biological properties. Innovative modelling-related algorithms are welcomed, provided their practical value is demonstrated through applications to concrete biological problems.

Scope

Research fields of interest include but are not limited to:

-Theoretical & computational biological modelling

-Systems-level biological simulation

-Signal transduction and information processing networks

-Gene expression and regulatory networks

-Metabolic systems

-Cell proliferation, differentiation and morphogenesis

-Cell physiology and morphology

-Tissue- and organ-scale dynamics

-Multi-scale biological modelling

-Omics-data integration paired with computational modelling

-Simulation-oriented algorithm development

MDPI Publication Ethics Statement

MDPI is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). MDPI takes the responsibility to enforce a rigorous peer-review together with strict ethical policies and standards to ensure to add high quality scientific works to the field of scholarly publication. Unfortunately, cases of plagiarism, data falsification, inappropriate authorship credit, and the like, do arise. MDPI takes such publishing ethics issues very seriously and our editors are trained to proceed in such cases with a zero tolerance policy. To verify the originality of content submitted to our journals, we use iThenticate to check submissions against previous publications.
