《生命物理學(xué)評論》是一份國際期刊，每季出版一期，發(fā)表關(guān)于生命系統(tǒng)物理學(xué)、生物系統(tǒng)中的復(fù)雜現(xiàn)象以及人工生命、機(jī)器人、數(shù)學(xué)生物符號學(xué)、人工智能系統(tǒng)等相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的評論文章。這本雜志是一個統(tǒng)一的力量，跨越學(xué)科之間的障礙，解決所有的生命系統(tǒng)，從分子到群體，從遺傳學(xué)到思維和人工系統(tǒng)建模這些現(xiàn)象。該雜志邀請積極工作的研究人員進(jìn)行評論，內(nèi)容廣泛、批判性強(qiáng)，我們的廣大讀者都能讀到，有時還會對最近的進(jìn)展和問題進(jìn)行有爭議的報道。《生命物理學(xué)評論》旨在通過及時發(fā)表評論，使活躍的研究者跟上各種主題的發(fā)展，這些評論不僅是文獻(xiàn)調(diào)查，通常也不是完整的專著。雖然大多數(shù)的審查將是專業(yè)性質(zhì)的，但每一份審查應(yīng)包含足夠的介紹性材料，使非專業(yè)人員能夠理解要點，并鼓勵和促進(jìn)跨學(xué)科研究。期刊名稱中的“物理學(xué)”是指將物理學(xué)的各個領(lǐng)域統(tǒng)一起來的方法論:(1)闡明基本原理，(2)建立數(shù)學(xué)模型，(3)進(jìn)行實驗驗證的預(yù)測。我們尋求對這一普遍范式有抱負(fù)的審查。審查應(yīng)明確處理某一領(lǐng)域中最重要的概念問題，審查現(xiàn)有的理論和方法及其成就、缺點或困難與新理論、方法或方法處理的問題、未解決的問題，以及為什么取得或預(yù)期取得重大進(jìn)展。未來的研究方向，未解決的問題，實驗證實或爭議也應(yīng)予以解決。

Physics of Life Reviews is an international journal appearing quarterly, that publishes review articles on physics of living systems, complex phenomena in biological systems, and related fields of artificial life, robotics, mathematical bio-semiotics, and artificial intelligent systems. This journal is a unifying force, going across the barriers between disciplines, addressing all living systems from molecules to populations and from genetics to mind and artificial systems modeling these phenomena. The journal invites reviews from actively working researchers, which are broad in scope, critical, accessible to our wide readership and addresses sometimes controversial accounts of recent progress and problems.Physics of Life Reviews intends to keep the active researcher abreast of developments on a wide range of topics by publishing timely reviews, which are more than mere literature surveys but normally less than a full monograph. Although most of the reviews will be of a specialist nature, each review should contain enough introductory material to make the main points intelligible to a non-specialist and to inspire and facilitate interdisciplinary research. "Physics" in the journal name refers to the methodology unifying all areas of physics: (1) elucidating fundamental principles, (2) developing a mathematical model, (3) making experimentally verifiable predictions. We seek reviews aspiring to this universal paradigm. The reviews should address in a clear way the most important conceptual issues in a field, review existing theories and methods with their achievements and drawbacks or difficulties versus the issues, unsolved problems addressed by a new theory, method, or approach, and why a significant progress is achieved or expected. Future research directions, remaining unsolved problems, and experimental confirmations or controversies should also be addressed.
