Interdisciplinary Sciences: Computational Life Sciences
Interdisciplinary Sciences: Computational Life Sciences is a peer‑reviewed journal that sits at the crossroads of computational methods and life sciences. Published quarterly by Springer Science+Business Media for the International Association of Scientists in the Interdisciplinary Areas, it covers interdisciplinary advances with a focus on computational life sciences. Written in English, the journal began in 2009 and is currently edited by Dong-Qing Wei of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
The journal has a 2024 impact factor of 3.9 (per Journal Citation Reports) and is indexed in several databases, including Scopus, JSTOR, and the NLM among others. It aims to publish research that advances understanding across multiple disciplines through computational approaches.
The journal has faced controversy, notably in 2009 when Luc Montagnier published papers on DNA teleportation that many researchers criticized as pseudoscience. Critics cited concerns about the peer‑review process and the unusually short turnaround for those publications; Montagnier was the chairman of the editorial board at that time.
