Journals focusing on aspects of theoretical biology

  • Aims & Scope: Computational & Mathematical Methods in Medicine (formerly Journal of Theoretical Medicine) seeks to promote genuine interdisciplinary collaboration between those interested in the theoretical and clinical aspects of medicine and to foster and encourage the application of mathematics to problems arising from the biomedical sciences. Areas of interest include gene therapy, cell kinetics, pharmacokinetics, chemotherapy, oncology, developmental biology, wound healing, physiology, heart modelling, cardiovascular and lung dynamics, neurobiology, computational neuroscience, biomechanics, biomedical statistics, image analysis, epidemiology, immunology, time series analysis, extracellular matrix properties and signalling, and tissue engineering. This list is not exclusive and papers in other biomedical disciplines are encouraged, particularly in the emerging areas of multiscale modelling in medicine, systems biology and translational research.
  • Description: An interdisciplinary journal, Theoretical Population Biology presents articles on the theoretical aspects of the biology of populations, particularly in the areas of ecology, genetics, demography, and epidemiology. Primary emphasis is on development of theory, but the journal also presents experimental results directly impinging on theoretical descriptions of populations and the dynamics of populations.
  • Five most downloaded articles, April-June 2008:
  • On analytical approaches to epidemics on networks
  • Game theory and human evolution: A critique of some recent interpretations of experimental games
  • The ideal free distribution: A review and synthesis of the game-theoretic perspective
  • Effects of predation on host-pathogen dynamics in SIR models [SIR model: an epidemiological model, computes theoretically the number of individuals infected contagiously by an illness over time in a closed population]
  • The evolution of strong reciprocity: cooperation in heterogeneous populations
