Source Code for Biology and Medicine

Source Code for Biology and Medicine
http://www.scfbm.org/

Source Code for Biology and Medicine is a peer-reviewed open access, online journal that publishes articles on source code employed over a wide range of applications in biology and medicine. The journal's aim is to publish source code for distribution and use in the public domain in order to advance biological and medical research. Through this dissemination, it may be possible to shorten the time required for solving certain computational problems for which there is limited source code availability or resources. Fundamentally, the overarching computation-related goals of the journal are to:

* Increase productivity among source code users working on problems of public and environmental health importance

* Reduce discovery times in molecular and genomic sciences

* Reduce search times for source code applied in biological and medical research

* Provide a historical reflection of source code applied in various fields

* Serve as a repository for source code

Source Code for Biology and Medicine considers the following types of articles:

* Original research: reports of data from original research. Describe novel implementation of source code used for acquiring new results, not previously published elsewhere. Research articles require complete source code files with compiled executables, libraries, or class modules (object-oriented programming with use of class libraries is the recommended programming style)..

* Methodology articles: discuss first-time publication of source code for a commonly used approach, for which code is not widely available in peer-reviewed biomedical literature. Methodology articles require complete source code files with compiled executables, libraries, or class modules (object-oriented programming with use of class libraries is the recommended programming style).

* Brief reports: short synopsis of applied algorithm without publication of the source code.

* Software reviews: discuss the application of published workflow or algorithm source code.
