Journal Title：Biosemiotics

Biosemiotics is dedicated to building a bridge between biology, philosophy, linguistics, and the communication sciences. Biosemiotic research is concerned with the study of signs and meaning in living organisms and systems. Its main challenge is to naturalize biological meaning and information by building on the belief that signs are fundamental, constitutive components of the living world.

Biosemiotics has triggered rethinking of fundamental assumptions in both biology and semiotics. In this view, biology should recognize the semiotic nature of life and reshape its theories and methodology accordingly while semiotics and the humanities should acknowledge the existence of signs beyond the human realm. Biosemiotics is at the cutting edge of research on the fundamentals of life. By challenging traditional assumptions on the nature of life and suggesting alternative perspectives, it opens up exciting new research paths.

生物符號學(xué)致力于在生物學(xué)、哲學(xué)、語言學(xué)和傳播科學(xué)之間架起一座橋梁。生物符號學(xué)研究涉及對生物體和系統(tǒng)中的符號和意義的研究。它的主要挑戰(zhàn)是建立在符號是生物世界的基本組成部分這一信念的基礎(chǔ)上，將生物學(xué)意義和信息自然化。

生物符號學(xué)引發(fā)了對生物學(xué)和符號學(xué)基本假設(shè)的重新思考。從這個角度來看，生物學(xué)應(yīng)該認識到生命的符號性質(zhì)，并相應(yīng)地重塑其理論和方法，而符號學(xué)和人文學(xué)科應(yīng)該承認人類領(lǐng)域之外的符號的存在。生物符號學(xué)處于生命基礎(chǔ)研究的前沿。通過挑戰(zhàn)對生命本質(zhì)的傳統(tǒng)假設(shè)并提出替代觀點，它開辟了令人興奮的新研究道路。

Biosemiotics創(chuàng)刊于2008年，由Springer Netherlands出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 12周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數(shù)2.1，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
