The International Journal of the European Biophysical Societies’ Association (EBSA)

The European Biophysics Journal is an international journal that focuses on the study of biological phenomena using physical methods and concepts.

  • Advances understanding of biological structure, dynamics and function by applying physical science principles.
  • Covers diverse areas including structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules, membrane biophysics, cell biophysics, and more.
  • Welcomes submissions of methods, software and databases that are new or substantially improves existing approaches.
  • Presents work in a biophysical context.
  • Published on behalf of the European Biophysical Societies’ Association.

EBJ is a well-established journal run by scientists, for scientists. First published in 1974, EBJ brings more than 50 years of experience to the field. All editors are active researchers working in a broad range of biophysical disciplines.

Open, inclusive, interdisciplinary, diverse in scope.

Publish all your biophysical work. EBJ’s primary goal is to advance the understanding of all areas of biophysics, whether that advance is fundamental or more incremental.

  • Regular Research articles publish solid, original contributions to the field.
  • Methodology articles provide broad exposure for new techniques, both experimental and computational (theory/simulation).
  • Reviews and Mini Reviews offer a critical overview of the past, present and future directions of specific areas in biophysics.

Free publications (no page charges) with an Open Access option.

EBJ is a journal for scientists who attempt to understand biological systems function using an interdisciplinary approach, including physics, mathematics, chemistry, medicine and their theoretical and experimental approaches, ranging from molecules to entire organisms.

Suggestions for articles, special issues (thematic, project- or network-driven, or conference-based), and editorial contributions are welcome!
We also welcome individuals interested in supporting our community through manuscript review or editorial work.

To recognise the quality and range of papers published in EBJ, we have instigated the European Biophysics Journal Prize to be awarded at each EBSA congress for recent research papers.
