Mathematical Biology & Bioinformatics | Information for Readers and Authors

The journal “MATHEMATICAL BIOLOGY AND BIOINFORMATICS” was established in 2006 by the Institute of Mathematical Problems of Biology of the Russian Academy of Sciences by the decision of the Scientific Council of the Russian Academy of Sciences on Mathematical Biology and Bioinformatics. It is included in the White List of the Russian Center for Scientific Research and the List of the Higher Attestation Commission (HAC) of leading peer-reviewed scientific journals in which the main scientific results of dissertations for the degrees of Doctor of Science and Candidate of Science should be published. The content is indexed by Scopus, Chemical Abstracts (CAS), Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) on the Web of Science (WoS) platform, Ulrich's Periodicals Directory, and the All-Russian Mathematical Portal Math-Net.Ru.
Articles accepted and prepared for publication are immediately posted in the current issue of the journal at https://www.matbio.org. The journal is published 2 mandatory issues per year, containing original articles that have bilingual metadata. Full texts in mandatory issues may be in Russian or English. In addition to the two mandatory issues, an additional issue (Supplement) is published with additional materials, which may publish translations of previously published original articles into English or Russian.

In cases where the original article is published in English, the authors bear full responsibility for the quality of the English text. After the publication of the original article, the authors may submit to the editors their own translation of the published article into another language. The text of the original article translated by the authors is considered additional material, with the help of which the authors expand their readership. The editors do not translate any texts of the authors. The responsibility for the adequacy of the translation lies with the authors themselves.
If, in accordance with the authors' wishes, the article is published in two languages, the original article has regular page numbers, and the translated version has page numbers beginning with the prefix t. The article may be supplied with various types of additional materials and appendices, the pages of which are numbered using the prefix s. Translated versions and additions may be posted on the journal's website later than the original article.
Articles are published as electronic files in PDF format. The editors accept materials from authors in Office Word files (DOCx files) and independently convert them to PDF format. Articles prepared using the LаTеX editor are also accepted, provided that a special style file prepared by the editors is used.
