《生物信息學與計算生物學雜志》旨在發表高質量的原創研究論文、說明性教程論文和綜述性論文，以及對與細胞信息分析相關的技術問題的簡短評論。這些研究論文將是新斷言、新發現和新工具的技術展示，面向更狹窄的專家群體。這些教程、評論和批判性評論將面向更廣泛的讀者，包括對使用計算機感興趣但不了解科學計算的生物學家，以及對生物學感興趣但不熟悉當前研究方向或生物學語言的計算機科學家。這種精心挑選的教程和文章應該會大大加快這些具有創造性的新科學家進入該領域的速度。

The Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology aims to publish high quality, original research articles, expository tutorial papers and review papers as well as short, critical comments on technical issues associated with the analysis of cellular information.The research papers will be technical presentations of new assertions, discoveries and tools, intended for a narrower specialist community. The tutorials, reviews and critical commentary will be targeted at a broader readership of biologists who are interested in using computers but are not knowledgeable about scientific computing, and equally, computer scientists who have an interest in biology but are not familiar with current thrusts nor the language of biology. Such carefully chosen tutorials and articles should greatly accelerate the rate of entry of these new creative scientists into the field.
