2. Biophysics Reports (www.biophysics-reports.org)
Founded in 1985, the Biophysics Reports is a peer-review open access journal. It provides a worldwide platform for publishing novel theories, methods, protocols and significant improvements in basic research techniques covering multidisciplinary areas in the biological and biomedical sciences.
It is sponsored by the BSC and the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences -- or CAS -- and is published online by SpringerLink.
In 2019, the BSC published five Biophysics Reports journals, containing 25 articles and 264 pages.
It is a journal included in the Chinese Science Citation Database, or the CSCD. In the 2019 CSCD-JCR report, its impact factor was 0.6087, ranking it 24th among 80 journals in the life sciences.
The BSC self-rated the journal's impact factor for 2019 to be 2.3, which was at a moderate level under the SCI-Biophysical Technology subdirectory.
Moving forwards, the BSC plans to urge editorial committees to increase their efforts to reach higher standards in the number of articles and the number of articles published internationally.
It plans to consider changing the publishing mode from aggregate publishing single edition publishing to continuous online publishing widely adopted by international open access publications -- and apply for SCI journals inclusion.
