Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal (CSBJ) is an online gold open access journal publishing research articles and reviews after full peer review. All articles are published, without barriers to access, immediately upon acceptance. CSBJ is composed of the following Sections:

    CSBJ: General Section
    CSBJ: The Smart Hospital Section
    CSBJ: Nanoscience & Advanced Materials Section
    CSBJ: Quantum Biology & Biophotonics Section

CSBJ: General Section focuses on functional and mechanistic understanding of how molecular components in a biological process work together through the application of computational methods. Structural data may provide such insights, but they are not a pre-requisite for publication in this section. For more details and specific areas of interest within this section, please visit: https://www.csbj.org/

CSBJ: The Smart Hospital Section focuses on new digital and automated technologies transforming health and care systems. Clinical and piloting data may provide practical insights on implementing digital and automated technologies in real-world smart hospital setting, but they are not a pre-requisite for publication in this section. For more details and specific areas of interest within this section, please visit: https://csbj-smarthospital.org/

CSBJ: Nanoscience and Advanced Materials Section focuses on advancing the scientific knowledge and technological innovation at the crossroads of nanoscience, materials science, chemistry, physics, and biomedical engineering. The section welcomes submissions covering a wide spectrum of topics within the overarching domains of nanoscience and advanced materials, enhancing our understanding of the nanoscale world and its transformative applications. For more details and specific areas of interest within this section, please visit: http://csbj-nano.org/

CSBJ: Quantum Biology and Biophotonics Section places a strong transdisciplinary emphasis on understanding biological systems that potentially harness quantum-mechanical processes. This section also focuses on the development and application of optics and photonic tools, methods, and technologies to address questions in quantum biology and its implications for biomedical and health sciences. Studies based on experimental approaches, computational simulations, and theoretical developments that are focused on this emphasis are welcome but are not a prerequisite for publication in this section.
