Network Biology

Network biology is a science that deals with the structure, function, regulation (control), design, and application, etc., of various biological networks. It is an interdisciplinary science based on life sciences (biology, ecology, medicine, etc.), mathematics and computational science (graph theory, network science, differential equations, computation methods, programming, etc.), systems science (complexity theory, selforganizology, etc.), and statistics, etc (Click HERE to find more details). The NETWORK BIOLOGY (ISSN 2220-8879; CODEN NBEICS) is an open access (BOAI definition), open peer reviewed online journal (users are free to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles) that considers scientific articles in all different areas of network biology. It is the transactions of the International Society of Network Biology. It dedicates to the latest advances in network biology (Zhang WJ. Fundamentals of Network Biology. World Scientific Europe, London, 2018). The goal of this journal is to keep a record of the state-of-the-art research and promote the research work in these fast moving areas. The topics to be covered by Network Biology include, but are not limited to:

Theories, algorithms and programs of network analysis
Evolution, dynamics, optimization and control of biological networks
Network construction, link prediction
Network topology, topological analysis, relationship between topological structure and network functions, sensitivity analysis, network robustness and stability
Network flow analysis
Design and formulation of biological networks
Ecological networks, food webs and natural equilibrium, co-evolution, co-extinction, biodiversity conservation
Metabolic networks, protein-protein interaction networks, biochemical reaction networks, gene networks, transcriptional regulatory networks, cell cycle networks, phylogenetic networks, network motifs and modules
Physiological networks, social networks, epidemiological networks
Network regulation of metabolic processes, human diseases and ecological systems
System complexity, self-organization, emergence of biological systems, agent-based modeling, neural network modeling, and other network-based modeling, etc.
Big data analytics of biological networks, meta-analysis, Mendelian randomization, casual inference, Bayesian inference, etc.

We are also interested in short communications that clearly address a specific issue or completely present a new ecological network, food web, or metabolic or gene network, etc.

Authors can submit their works to the email box of this journal, networkbiology@iaees.org. All manuscripts submitted to this journal must be previously unpublished and may not be considered for publication elsewhere at any time during review period of this journal. Authors are asked to read and accept Author Guidelines and Publication Ethics & Malpractice Statement before submitting manuscripts.

In addition to free submissions from authors around the world, special issues are also accepted. The organizer of a special issue can collect submissions (yielded from a research project, a research group, etc.) on a specific research topic, or submissions of a scientific conference for publication of special issue.
