Scope

Biological Communications publishes research from across all areas of the biological sciences, from classical disciplines such as botany and zoology to biotechnology and fundamental medicine, given the research is of high quality and might be interesting not only to narrow specialists, but to a broader auditorium. Some emphasis is given to rapidly developing fields: neuroscience and cognition; organismal and evolutionary biology; palaeontology; molecular, cell and developmental biology; genomics and proteomics; bioinformatics; classical ecology; marine and arctic research; mechanisms of diseases. In addition to being free to both authors and readers, Biological Communications is an open access and primarily online journal, which makes it particularly suited to research that requires high visibility due to its novel findings. Articles submitted to Biological Communications will benefit from its broad scope and readership and its dedicated media promotion. Our aim is to become the leading Russian journal in the field of life science, publishing both the best research from Russian institutions and attracting cutting edge research from around the globe.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.
