Journal Title：Bioinspiration & Biomimetics

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics publishes research involving the study and distillation of principles and functions found in biological systems that have been developed through evolution, and application of this knowledge to produce novel and exciting basic technologies and new approaches to solving scientific problems. It provides a forum for interdisciplinary research which acts as a pipeline, facilitating the two-way flow of ideas and understanding between the extensive bodies of knowledge of the different disciplines. It has two principal aims: to draw on biology to enrich engineering and to draw from engineering to enrich biology.

The journal aims to include input from across all intersecting areas of both fields. In biology, this would include work in all fields from physiology to ecology, with either zoological or botanical focus. In engineering, this would include both design and practical application of biomimetic or bioinspired devices and systems. Typical areas of interest include:

Systems, designs and structure

Communication and navigation

Cooperative behaviour

Self-organizing biological systems

Self-healing and self-assembly

Aerial locomotion and aerospace applications of biomimetics

Biomorphic surface and subsurface systems

Marine dynamics: swimming and underwater dynamics

Applications of novel materials

Biomechanics; including movement, locomotion, fluidics

Cellular behaviour

Sensors and senses

Biomimetic or bioinformed approaches to geological exploration.

《生物靈感與仿生學(xué)》發(fā)表的研究涉及研究和提煉通過進化而形成的生物系統(tǒng)中發(fā)現(xiàn)的原理和功能，以及應(yīng)用這些知識來產(chǎn)生新穎和令人興奮的基礎(chǔ)技術(shù)和解決科學(xué)問題的新方法。它為跨學(xué)科研究提供了一個論壇，充當(dāng)管道，促進不同學(xué)科廣泛知識體系之間的思想和理解的雙向流動。它有兩個主要目標(biāo)：利用生物學(xué)來豐富工程學(xué)，利用工程學(xué)來豐富生物學(xué)。

該期刊旨在涵蓋兩個領(lǐng)域所有交叉領(lǐng)域的投入。在生物學(xué)方面，這將包括從生理學(xué)到生態(tài)學(xué)的所有領(lǐng)域的工作，重點是動物學(xué)或植物學(xué)。在工程學(xué)方面，這將包括仿生或生物啟發(fā)設(shè)備和系統(tǒng)的設(shè)計和實際應(yīng)用。典型的興趣領(lǐng)域包括：

系統(tǒng)、設(shè)計和結(jié)構(gòu)

通信和導(dǎo)航

合作行為

自組織生物系統(tǒng)

自修復(fù)和自組裝

仿生學(xué)的空中運動和航空航天應(yīng)用

仿生表面和地下系統(tǒng)

海洋動力學(xué)：游泳和水下動力學(xué)

新材料的應(yīng)用

生物力學(xué)；包括運動、移動、流體學(xué)

細(xì)胞行為

傳感器和感官

仿生或生物信息地質(zhì)勘探方法。

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics創(chuàng)刊于2006年，由IOP Publishing Ltd.出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋工程技術(shù) - 材料科學(xué)：生物材料全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認(rèn)可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 較慢,6-12周 ，影響因子指數(shù)3.1，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
