《生物學(xué)快報(bào)》以前是《論文集B》的補(bǔ)充，2005年作為獨(dú)立期刊發(fā)行，主要是在線的、同行評(píng)議的期刊，發(fā)表來自生物科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的短小、高質(zhì)量的文章、評(píng)論和觀點(diǎn)文章。生物學(xué)快報(bào)的范圍是廣泛的-出版高質(zhì)量的研究在任何領(lǐng)域的生物科學(xué)。然而，我們?cè)谡麄€(gè)生物體的生物學(xué)、進(jìn)化和生態(tài)學(xué)方面具有獨(dú)特的優(yōu)勢(shì)。我們也在生物學(xué)的其他領(lǐng)域發(fā)表文章，如分子生態(tài)學(xué)和進(jìn)化、環(huán)境科學(xué)和系統(tǒng)遺傳學(xué)。提交給《生物學(xué)快報(bào)》的文章得益于其廣泛的范圍和讀者群，以及專門的媒體宣傳，我們的目標(biāo)是在4周內(nèi)做出第一個(gè)決定。

Previously a supplement to Proceedings B, and launched as an independent journal in 2005, Biology Letters is a primarily online, peer-reviewed journal that publishes short, high-quality articles, reviews and opinion pieces from across the biological sciences. The scope of Biology Letters is vast - publishing high-quality research in any area of the biological sciences. However, we have particular strengths in the biology, evolution and ecology of whole organisms. We also publish in other areas of biology, such as molecular ecology and evolution, environmental science, and phylogenetics.Articles submitted to Biology Letters benefit from its broad scope and readership, dedicated media promotion and we aim for a turnaround time of within 4 weeks to first decision.
