Aims, scope and focus
Biomath is published by Biomath Forum. By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Mathematical and Theoretical Epidemiology and Ecology Models, COVID-19 epidemiological studies and Mathematical Biology Tumor Growth, together about 52.7% of its articles. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
The journal BIOMATH publishes original mathematical results relevant to applications of mathematical methods or mathematical models in biosciences or embedded in such applications. These results should include deeper and substantial involvement of mathematical theory and non-routine mathematical methodologies. Furthermore BIOMATH publishes papers on novel applications of more familiar mathematical techniques and analyses of biological problems which indicate the need for new mathematical approaches. Special attention is given to approaches that are outside the scope of mainstream journals on mathematical and theoretical biology. BIOMATH welcomes original papers using mathematical and computational tools to the study of phenomena in the broad fields of biology, ecology, epidemiology, medicine, pharmaco-kinetics, biotechnology, bioengineering, environmental science, etc. Subject areas such as conservation ecology, diseases at the interface with wildlife, bioreactors, chemostats, biofilms, signal pathways, metabolic networks, enzyme kinetics, catalyses, neural networks, medical imaging, synaptic transmission etc. are especially welcome. The journal BIOMATH is published both electronically and in printed form.
