Biophysical Reviews: a Q1 ranked journal in biophysics and structural biology

Abstract

This Editorial for Biophysical Reviews (Volume 12, Issue 5) begins with a description of the two feature articles. The first being the latest in the "Meet the Editors Series" describing Rosangela Itri-the Biophysical Reviews Executive Editor responsible for the South American region. The second feature article is by Alexandra Zidovska, the inaugural winner of the 2020 "Michèle Auger Award for Young Scientists' Independent Research." Next highlighted are the Issue contents, which consist of five Commentaries/Letters and eleven Reviews. Finally, we conclude with a description of Biophysical Reviews' ascension within the world's major journal rankings index (Elsevier, Scimago)-becoming 12th overall (out of 156) within the biophysics category and receiving the coveted Q1 rating in both biophysics and structural biology sections.
