Aims and scope

BiO is an online Open Access journal that publishes peer-reviewed original research in all areas of the biological and biomedical sciences.

It is a requirement for consideration at BiO that the work addresses a clearly stated, non-trivial, biological hypothesis.

BiO does not consider articles in pure physics, chemistry, engineering, earth sciences, clinical studies, surgical procedures, public health, and homeopathy, complementary or alternative medicine.

Editors will also consider Methods & Techniques papers, papers on computational analysis, replication studies, and rigorous reports presenting negative results.
