The Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, the official journal of the Society for Mathematical Biology, disseminates original research findings and other information relevant to the interface of biology and the mathematical sciences. Contributions should have relevance to both fields. In order to accommodate the broad scope of new developments, the journal accepts a variety of contributions, including:
- Original research articles focused on new biological insights gained with the help of tools from the mathematical sciences or new mathematical tools and methods with demonstrated applicability to biological investigations
- Research in mathematical biology education
- Reviews
- Commentaries
- Perspectives, and contributions that discuss issues important to the profession
All contributions are peer-reviewed.
- Offers reports on theoretical advances, with clear exposition of how they further biological understanding
- Disciplines covered include computational, theoretical and experimental biology
- Official journal of the Society for Mathematical Biology
- 95% of authors who answered a survey reported that they would definitely publish or probably publish in the journal again

COVID-19 and impact on peer review
As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
