    CALL FOR PAPERS


    INTERFACE:
    Physical and Life Sciences
    ISSN: 1742-5689 E-ISSN: 1742-5662

    Edited by: Professor William Bonfield, CBE, FRS

    A NEW JOURNAL AT THE INTERFACE OF THE PHYSICAL AND LIFE SCIENCES
    (www.pubs.royalsoc.ac.uk/interface_homepage.shtml)

    The Royal Society announces the launch of a new international journal,
    Interface, which publishes contributions from the interface between the
    physical sciences, including mathematics, and the life sciences. It
    provides a dedicated forum for rapid publication and interaction across this
    boundary: both sides of the interface are considered equally.

    Interface publishes research applying chemistry, engineering, materials
    science, mathematics and physics to the biological and medical sciences; it
    also highlights discoveries in the life sciences that allow advances in the
    physical sciences. Preliminary and more speculative work of high-quality is
    encouraged. The journal also publishes authoritative reviews.

    Interface welcomes articles on a diverse range of topics including, but not
    limited to:
    * biocomplexity
    * bioengineering
    * bioinformatics
    * biomaterials
    * biomechanics
    * biophysics
    * chemical biology
    * medical physics
    * nanoscience and computer science (as applied to the life sciences)
    * systems biology
    * theoretical biology
    * tissue engineering

    Features of Interface include:
    * rapid publication times
    * original scientific research (up to 8000 words)
    * short reports (up to 2500 words)
    * high-quality reviews
    * fully peer-reviewed to Royal Society standards
    * broad dissemination and accessibility
    * available online and in print
    * commitment to providing perpetual access

    NOTES FOR INTERFACE AUTHORS

    Aim and scope

    Interface is a new international journal publishing papers from the
    interface between the physical sciences, including mathematics, and the life
    sciences. It provides a high-quality forum to publish rapidly and interact
    across this boundary in two main ways: Interface publishes research applying
    chemistry, engineering, materials science, mathematics and physics to the
    biological and medical sciences; it also highlights discoveries in the life
    sciences that allow advances in the physical sciences. Both sides of the
    interface are considered equally.
    Articles
    Articles are contributions (up to 8000 words) containing original scientific
    research.

    Reports
    Reports are short, letter-style contributions (up to 2500 words), which are
    published rapidly. Preliminary and more speculative work of high-quality is
    strongly encouraged.
    Both articles and reports should be written for audiences in a wide range of
    disciplines.


    Reviews

    Reviews are articles of the highest quality, and aim to be of interest to
    communities working at the physical sciences–life sciences interface.
    Articles cover the latest developments in an area of cross-disciplinary
    research. They put such research into a wider context and are written in a
    style that makes them accessible to readers in a wide range of disciplines.
    Reviews are normally published by invitation; however, we are also keen to
    receive proposals for prospective articles. Complete literature surveys are
    not encouraged.
    Selection criteria
    The review process will give equal weighting to sciences on both sides of
    the interface. The criteria for selection are scientific excellence,
    originality and potential interest to a wide spectrum of scientists. All
    papers are peer-reviewed to a high standard and published rapidly under the
    control of the Editor and his distinguished Editorial Board.
    Conditions of publication
    Papers must not have been published previously, nor be under consideration
    for publication elsewhere. The Editor has final authority in all matters
    relating to publication.
    Electronic submission details
    The Royal Society's electronic submission and peer-review service provides
    Interface authors with the facility to submit their papers electronically.
    The service allows you to upload files in a reliable and user-friendly way,
    using a Web-based system. When your paper is received, you receive an
    immediate acknowledgement that details how you can track your contribution
    online.
