History

• Founding: the journal was launched in 2006 by IOP Publishing to provide a dedicated forum for interdisciplinary research at the interface of biology and engineering, a field that had been gaining momentum in the early 2000s.创刊： 该刊 2006 年由 IOP 出版公司创刊，为生物学与工程学交叉处的跨学科研究提供专门论坛，该领域在 2000 年代初不断积蓄势头。
• IOP publication: throughout its history the journal has been published by IOP Publishing, maintaining its focus on the two-way exchange of ideas between the biological and physical sciences.IOP 出版： 在整个历史中该刊一直由 IOP 出版公司出版，始终聚焦生物科学与物理科学之间的思想双向交流。
• Editorial leadership: the journal has been led by editor-in-chief Robert J. Full of the University of California, Berkeley, whose own research on biomechanics and animal locomotion exemplifies the journal's interdisciplinary mission.编辑领导： 该刊由加州大学伯克利分校的罗伯特·富尔担任主编，其本人在生物力学与动物运动方面的研究体现了刊物的跨学科使命。

Editors

The journal is led by an editor-in-chief supported by associate editors and an international editorial board:该刊由主编领导，副编辑与国际编委会协助工作：

• Editor-in-chief: Robert J. Full, Professor of Integrative Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, whose research focuses on biomechanics, animal locomotion, and the application of biological principles to the design of robots and engineered systems.主编： 罗伯特·富尔（Robert J. Full），加州大学伯克利分校整合生物学教授，研究方向为生物力学、动物运动以及将生物学原理应用于机器人与工程系统设计。
• Associate editors: associate editors are drawn from both biology and engineering disciplines and cover the major areas within the journal's interdisciplinary scope.副编辑团队： 副编辑来自生物学与工程学两大学科，覆盖刊物跨学科范围内的主要领域。
• Review model: manuscripts undergo single-blind peer review by external experts, with final decisions made by the editor-in-chief based on scientific rigor, novelty, and the interdisciplinary significance of the work.评审模式： 稿件由外部专家进行单盲同行评审，主编基于科学严谨性、新颖性与作品的跨学科意义做出最终决定。
