Abstract
This Commentary outlines recent advances of Biophysics and Physicobiology (BPPB), the official international peer-reviewed journal published by the Biophysical Society of Japan (BSJ), a member of the International Union of Pure and Applied Biophysics (IUPAB). In June 2024, BSJ hosted the 21st IUPAB Congress in Kyoto, which was attended by over 1900 participants from 52 countries and regions. The role of BPPB as an open-access (OA) journal within the framework of the future Japanese governmental OA policy is also discussed.
期刊介绍:
Biophysical Reviews aims to publish critical and timely reviews from key figures in the field of biophysics. The bulk of the reviews that are currently published are from invited authors, but the journal is also open for non-solicited reviews. Interested authors are encouraged to discuss the possibility of contributing a review with the Editor-in-Chief prior to submission. Through publishing reviews on biophysics, the editors of the journal hope to illustrate the great power and potential of physical techniques in the biological sciences, they aim to stimulate the discussion and promote further research and would like to educate and enthuse basic researcher scientists and students of biophysics. Biophysical Reviews covers the entire field of biophysics, generally defined as the science of describing and defining biological phenomenon using the concepts and the techniques of physics. This includes but is not limited by such areas as: - Bioinformatics - Biophysical methods and instrumentation - Medical biophysics - Biosystems - Cell biophysics and organization - Macromolecules: dynamics, structures and interactions - Single molecule biophysics - Membrane biophysics, channels and transportation
