PhysMath Central has announced that their latest journal, PMC Biophysics, is now accepting submissions.

The journal with its prestigious Editorial Board - headed by Huan-Xiang Zhou - will publish research on all aspects of biological physics, including theoretical and experimental aspects of; physical concepts with potential applications to biological systems, physical models inspired by biological systems, biological problems addressed by physics-based methods and soft condensed matter & mesoscale systems.

Biophysics is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field drawing on expertise in physics, biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and even engineering, and as such is one of the most vibrant areas of scientific research. Examples of some of the primary areas if interest for the new journal are:

  • Thermodynamics and kinetics of biological processes
  • Structural stability and confomational transition of biomolecules
  • Correlation of macromolecular dynamics and biological function
  • Macromolecular assembly
  • Modeling of cellular environments
  • Protein-membrane interactions and ion channels
  • Signaling and interaction networks
  • Energy transduction and motility
  • Novel biophysical methods

To celebrate the journal's launch, there is no article processing charge for all accepted articles which are submitted before 30 July 2008.

Around a year ago, PhysMath Central was involved in the very first Summit of Information Specialists in Particle Physics and Astrophysics, held at Stanford. This year, the meeting was held at DESY in Hamburg and the outcome was INSPIRE, the next-generation HEP information system, which will empower scientists with innovative tools for successful research at the dawn of an era of new discoveries. 

It will develop long-sought features, providing access to the entire corpus of the HEP literature with full-text Google-like search capabilities and enabling innovative text- and data-mining applications. Much of which are only possible with open access research which PMC Physics A already has, and which SCOAP3 plans to make ubiquitous. To read a more in-depth analysis, see the research paper.

INSPIRE represents a natural evolution of scholarly communication, built on successful community-based information systems, and provides a vision for information management in other fields of science.
