Biosocial Studies
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biosocial studies encompass a set of approaches constituted by the knowledge space generated by the interaction between biology, health, environmental and sociology. This space takes us back to the beginnings of social studies, where biology and social sciences walked side by side. Currently, these studies are being revitalized. Today, biosocial studies are concerned with understanding the evolution of society from this triple perspective: biological, social and health. In this sense, biological research allows us to understand the basic mechanisms of the conformation of society (molecular sociology, sociobiology, etc.), health research allows us to delve into the social determinants of care and biomedical problems (rare diseases, mental illnesses, etc.) and social studies help us to relate biological and care information to implement a more equitable, more democratic and appropriately structured society.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
