Aims & Scope 目标和范围
Open-access journal publishing high quality, editorially selected and peer reviewed advances in biology
开放获取期刊出版高质量、编辑精选和同行评审的生物学进展
Communications Biology is an open access journal from Nature Portfolio publishing high-quality research, reviews and commentary in all areas of the biological sciences. Research papers published by the journal represent significant advances bringing new biological insight to a specialized area of research. We also aim to provide a community forum for issues of importance to all biologists, regardless of sub-discipline.
Communications Biology 是 Nature Portfolio 的开放获取期刊，发表生物科学所有领域的高质量研究、评论和评论。该杂志发表的研究论文代表了为专业研究领域带来新的生物学见解的重大进展。我们还旨在为所有生物学家（无论哪个子学科）都重要的问题提供一个社区论坛。
The scope of the journal includes all of the basic biological and biomedical sciences. Primary research published in Communications Biology includes novel experimental results, secondary data analysis and innovative experimental and computational methods. We also consider submissions from adjacent research fields where the central advance of the study is of interest to biologists, for example, chemical biology, biophysics and biomedical engineering.
该杂志的范围包括所有基础生物和生物医学科学。发表在 Communications Biology 上的主要研究包括新颖的实验结果、二次数据分析以及创新的实验和计算方法。我们还考虑了生物学家感兴趣的相邻研究领域的投稿，例如化学生物学、生物物理学和生物医学工程。
The submission and review processes are managed by our in-house professional editors supported by our Editorial Board Members, who provide technical expertise across the breadth of the life sciences. We are committed to rapid dissemination of important research results. Articles are published on a continuous basis with minimal time from acceptance to publication.
提交和审查过程由我们的内部专业编辑管理，并由我们的编辑委员会成员提供支持，他们提供生命科学领域的技术专业知识。我们致力于快速传播重要的研究成果。文章是连续发表的，从接受到发表的时间最短。

Relationship to other Nature Portfolio journals
与其他 Nature Portfolio 期刊的关系
Communications Biology is editorially independent, and its editors make their own decisions, independently of the other Nature Portfolio journals. It is for authors alone to decide where to submit their manuscripts. For papers that could satisfy the scope of more than one Nature Portfolio journal, the choice of which journal to submit to lies with the authors. Nature and the Nature Portfolio hybrid journals apply the highest level of editorial selectivity for impact and significance. Nature Communications is the premier multidisciplinary open access journal within the portfolio, applies high editorial selectivity and publishes important advances of significance to specialists within the field. Communications Biology complements Nature Communications by publishing significant advances that may be of interest to a more specialized community within the biological sciences or that otherwise do not meet the high editorial threshold for broad impact and significance at the Nature-branded journals, including Nature Communications. All Nature Portfolio journals, including Communications Biology, apply the same criteria for technical validity and adherence to ethical standards. More information about editorial policies at Nature Portfolio can be found at Editorial policies | Nature Portfolio.
Communications Biology 是独立的编辑，其编辑独立于其他 Nature Portfolio 期刊做出自己的决定。由作者自行决定将手稿提交到哪里。对于可以满足多个 Nature Portfolio 期刊范围的论文，选择投稿给哪个期刊取决于作者。Nature 和 Nature Portfolio 混合期刊对影响力和重要性采用最高水平的编辑选择性。Nature Communications 是产品组合中首屈一指的多学科开放获取期刊，采用高度的编辑选择性，并为该领域的专家发表具有重要意义的重要进展。Communications Biology 通过发表生物科学领域更专业的社区可能感兴趣的重大进展，或者不符合 Nature Communications（包括 Nature Communications）品牌期刊的广泛影响和重要性的高编辑门槛，对 Nature Communications 进行补充。所有 Nature Portfolio 期刊，包括 Communications Biology，都采用相同的技术有效性和遵守道德标准的标准。有关 Nature Portfolio 编辑政策的更多信息，请访问 Editorial policies | Nature Portfolio。
If a paper is rejected from another Nature Portfolio journal, the authors can use an automated manuscript transfer service to submit the paper to Communications Biology via a link sent to them by the editor handling the manuscript. For transfers after review, authors should note that the editor's decision letter, the reviewers' identities, and the reviewers' reports (including any confidential comments to the editor) are transferred to the editor of the second journal along with the manuscript. The journal editors will take the previous reviews into account when making their decision, although in some cases the editors may choose to take advice from additional referees.
如果一篇论文被其他 Nature Portfolio 期刊拒绝，作者可以使用自动稿件传输服务，通过处理稿件的编辑发送给他们的链接将论文提交给 Communications Biology。对于审稿后的转交，作者应注意，编辑的决定信、审稿人的身份和审稿人的报告（包括对编辑的任何保密评论）将与手稿一起转交给第二期刊的编辑。期刊编辑在做出决定时会考虑之前的审稿，尽管在某些情况下，编辑可能会选择听取其他审稿人的建议。
Alternatively, authors may choose to request a fresh review, in which case they should not use the automated transfer link, and the editors will evaluate the paper without reference to the previous review process.
或者，作者可以选择请求新的审稿，在这种情况下，他们不应该使用自动转移链接，编辑将在不参考之前的审稿流程的情况下评估论文。
In cases where manuscripts are rejected from Communications Biology, authors may wish to use the same manuscript transfer service to submit their paper to Scientific Reports or another in-house journal. Scientific Reports is an open-access journal covering all areas of the natural and clinical sciences and offering rapid publication on nature.com; more information can be found here. Please note that manuscripts transferred to Scientific Reports must satisfy the policy requirements outlined here before being assigned to an editor.
如果稿件被 Communications Biology 拒绝，作者可能希望使用相同的稿件传输服务将其论文提交给 Scientific Reports 或其他内部期刊。Scientific Reports 是一本开放获取期刊，涵盖自然科学和临床科学的所有领域，并提供 nature.com 的快速出版;更多信息可以在这里找到。请注意，转交给 Scientific Reports 的稿件必须满足此处列出的政策要求，然后才能分配给编辑。
