Biofouling

Journal Title：Biofouling

Biofouling is an international, peer-reviewed, multi-discliplinary journal which publishes original articles and mini-reviews and provides a forum for publication of pure and applied work on protein, microbial, fungal, plant and animal fouling and its control, as well as studies of all kinds on biofilms and bioadhesion.

Papers may be based on studies relating to characterisation, attachment, growth and control on any natural (living) or man-made surface in the freshwater, marine or aerial environments, including fouling, biofilms and bioadhesion in the medical, dental, and industrial context.

Specific areas of interest include antifouling technologies and coatings including transmission of invasive species, antimicrobial agents, biological interfaces, biomaterials, microbiologically influenced corrosion, membrane biofouling, food industry biofilms, biofilm based diseases and indwelling biomedical devices as substrata for fouling and biofilm growth, including papers based on clinically-relevant work using models that mimic the realistic environment in which they are intended to be used.

Biofouling 是一本國際性、同行評審、跨學科的期刊，發表原創文章和小型評論，為發表關于蛋白質、微生物、真菌、植物和動物污垢及其控制的純理論和應用研究以及各種關于生物膜和生物粘附的研究提供論壇。

論文可以基于與淡水、海洋或空中環境中任何天然（生物）或人造表面的特征、附著、生長和控制有關的研究，包括醫療、牙科和工業環境中的污垢、生物膜和生物粘附。

具體感興趣的領域包括防污技術和涂層，包括入侵物種的傳播、抗菌劑、生物界面、生物材料、微生物影響的腐蝕、膜生物污垢、食品工業生物膜、基于生物膜的疾病和留置生物醫學設備作為污垢和生物膜生長的基質，包括基于使用臨床相關工作的論文模擬其預期使用現實環境的模型。

Biofouling創刊于1988年，由Taylor and Francis Ltd.出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋生物 - 海洋與淡水生物學全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 較慢,6-12周 ，影響因子指數2.6，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
