BIOLOGICAL REVIEWS

《生物评论》涵盖了整个生物科学领域，每期都有几篇评论文章。虽然学术和广泛的参考书目，文章是针对非专业生物学家以及该领域的研究人员。作者在写作中被特别指示要意识到这一事实，由此产生的评论作为对特定领域的广泛介绍，定义了技术的状态，并提请注意知识的空白。文章长达两万字，每一篇都包含一个摘要，一个完整的介绍和结论陈述。

Biological Reviews covers the entire range of the biological sciences, presenting several review articles per issue. Although scholarly and with extensive bibliographies, the articles are aimed at non-specialist biologists as well as researchers in the field. Authors are specifically instructed to be aware of this fact in their writing, and the resulting reviews serve as extensive introductions to particular fields, defining the state of the art, and drawing attention to gaps in knowledge. Articles are up to 20,000 words long and each contains an abstract, a thorough introduction and statement of conclusions.
