Life Sciences is an international weekly journal publishing reports on research in biomedical areas. Articles are encouraged that emphasize the molecular, cellular and functional aspects of Cardiovascular & Autonomic Mechanisms; Drug Metabolism; Endocrinology; Growth Factors and Neoplasia; Immunology; Neuroscience and Toxicology. The Journal publishes original research rapidly. Although full-length manuscripts are favored, shorter submissions are also considered. These shorter articles must be of the same high quality as full-length articles, and should contain information from topical and fast-moving fields in order to merit more rapid communication. Mini-reviews on topics of wide interest to investigators in the life sciences are also published. All articles are rigorously reviewed. The Journal favors publication of papers where modern scientific technologies are used to explain molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms. Articles that merely report observations are rarely accepted. Recommendations from the Declaration of Helsinki or NIH guidelines for care and use of laboratory animals must be adhered to. Articles should be written at a level accessible to readers who are non-specialists in the topic of the article themselves, but who are interested in the research.

《生命科學(xué)》是一份國際周刊，出版生物醫(yī)學(xué)領(lǐng)域的研究報(bào)告。鼓勵(lì)強(qiáng)調(diào)心血管和自主機(jī)制的分子、細(xì)胞和功能方面的文章;藥物代謝;內(nèi)分泌學(xué);生長因子與腫瘤;免疫學(xué);神經(jīng)學(xué)和毒理學(xué)。該雜志迅速發(fā)表原創(chuàng)研究。雖然全篇幅的稿件更受歡迎，但也可以考慮提交較短的稿件。這些較短的文章必須與完整的文章具有相同的高質(zhì)量，并且應(yīng)該包含來自主題和快速移動(dòng)領(lǐng)域的信息，以便進(jìn)行更快速的交流。對(duì)生命科學(xué)研究人員廣泛感興趣的主題也發(fā)表了小型評(píng)論。所有文章都經(jīng)過嚴(yán)格審查。該雜志傾向于發(fā)表現(xiàn)代科學(xué)技術(shù)用于解釋分子、細(xì)胞和生理機(jī)制的論文。僅僅報(bào)告觀察結(jié)果的文章很少被接受。必須遵守《赫爾辛基宣言》或國家衛(wèi)生研究院關(guān)于護(hù)理和使用實(shí)驗(yàn)室動(dòng)物的指導(dǎo)方針的建議。文章應(yīng)該寫在對(duì)文章主題本身不是專家，但對(duì)研究感興趣的讀者能夠理解的水平上。
