Biointerphases Open Access Journal

The Biointerphases journal provides an interdisciplinary platform for scientific exchange among the biology, chemistry, physics, and materials sciences communities.

It offers a discussion forum for rapid dissemination of scientific theories, results, and interpretations. Biointerphases serves as a global vehicle for the biomaterials interface community as well as a platform that encourages dialog between scientists and the public with respect to cogent policy issues.

Biointerphases is now indexed by Thomson Reuters (formerly Thomson Scientific), which includes the journal in Science Citation Index Expanded, Materials Science Citation Index, Biochemistry & Biophysics Citation Index, Biological Abstracts, and BIOSIS Previews.

NEW in Biointerphases: In Focus sections, groups of articles relating to a single topic. Issue Two includes two In Focus sections:

In Focus: Solid Supported Membranes
In Focus Editor: Wolfgang Knoll

In Focus: Synchrotron Radiation and Neutrons in Biointerface Science
In Focus Editors: Michael Grunze and Peter Fratzl

Several more In Focus sections are planned for upcoming issues, including:

In Focus: Surface Plasmon Resonance - Plasmonics
In Focus Editor: Bo Liedberg

In Focus: Structure and Properties of Soft Organic-Aqueous Interfaces
In Focus Editors: Michael Grunze and Alexander Pertsin
