Bioinspiration & Biomimetics publishes research involving the study and distillation of principles and functions found in biological systems that have been developed through evolution, and application of this knowledge to produce novel and exciting basic technologies and new approaches to solving scientific problems. It provides a forum for interdisciplinary research which acts as a pipeline, facilitating the two-way flow of ideas and understanding between the extensive bodies of knowledge of the different disciplines. It has two principal aims: to draw on biology to enrich engineering and to draw from engineering to enrich biology.The journal aims to include input from across all intersecting areas of both fields. In biology, this would include work in all fields from physiology to ecology, with either zoological or botanical focus. In engineering, this would include both design and practical application of biomimetic or bioinspired devices and systems. Typical areas of interest include:Systems, designs and structureCommunication and navigationCooperative behaviourSelf-organizing biological systemsSelf-healing and self-assemblyAerial locomotion and aerospace applications of biomimeticsBiomorphic surface and subsurface systemsMarine dynamics: swimming and underwater dynamicsApplications of novel materialsBiomechanics; including movement, locomotion, fluidicsCellular behaviourSensors and sensesBiomimetic or bioinformed approaches to geological explorationThe journal is aimed at a broad scientific and international audience across a wide spectrum of disciplines from the biological and physical sciences. Therefore, contributions should be written keeping in mind the interdisciplinary nature of the field and specialized terms should be concisely explained.

生物靈感與仿生學發表了一項研究，涉及研究和提煉生物系統中的原理和功能，這些原理和功能是通過進化發展而來的，并應用這些知識來產生新穎而令人興奮的基本技術和解決科學問題的新方法。它為跨學科研究提供了一個論壇，作為一條管道，促進思想的雙向流動和不同學科廣泛知識體之間的理解。它有兩個主要目的：利用生物學來豐富工程學，利用工程學來豐富生物學。期刊的目標是包括來自兩個領域所有交叉領域的輸入。在生物學中，這將包括從生理學到生態學的所有領域的工作，無論是動物學還是植物學。在工程學中，這將包括仿生或仿生裝置和系統的設計和實際應用。典型的關注領域包括：系統、設計和結構通信與導航合作行為自組織生物系統自愈自組裝航空運動與仿生學在航空航天中的應用生物形態表面和地下系統海洋動力學：游泳和水下動力學新型材料的應用生物力學；包括運動、運動、流體力學細胞行為傳感器和感官地質勘探的仿生或生物信息方法該雜志的目標是廣泛的科學和國際觀眾跨學科廣泛的生物和物理科學。因此，在撰寫文章時應牢記該領域的跨學科性質，并應簡要解釋專門術語。
