Computational Biology Journal
The Public Library of Science, has unveiled a new journal this week - The Journal of Computational Biology.
PLoS Computational Biology features works of exceptional significance that further our understanding of living systems at all scales through the application of computational methods.
Computation, driven in part by the influx of large amounts of data at all biological scales, has become a central feature of research and discovery in the life sciences. This work tends to be published either in methods journals that are not read by experimentalists or in one of the numerous journals reporting novel biology, each of which publishes only small amounts of computational research. Hence, the impact of this research is diluted. PLoS Computational Biology provides a home for important biological research driven by computation--a place where computational biologists can find the best work produced by their colleagues, and where the broader biological community can see the myriad ways computation is advancing our understanding of biological systems.
